The repercussions of a cyber incident extend beyond immediate financial losses. The impact on a law firm's reputation can be devastating. Clients trust their attorneys with highly confidential information, ranging from personal data to sensitive business details. A breach can shatter this trust, leading to a loss of clients, a damaged reputation, and potentially severe legal consequences.

Investing in good, trustworthy IT might seem like a significant expense, but the cost of a breach—both financially and reputationally—can be far greater. Balancing cost and security involves assessing the potential risks and implementing measures that provide the most significant protection for your investment.
