Problem
A Santa Ana law firm handled privileged client data with no MFA, weak email security, and no formal access review. Partners feared malpractice exposure.
Risk Exposure
Client data breach, ABA ethics inquiry, malpractice claims. Phishing and business email compromise were top concerns.
Technical Diagnosis
No MFA on email or document management. Shared drives with broad permissions. No security awareness training. Outdated firewall with overly permissive rules.
Implementation
Enabled MFA across Microsoft 365 and document management. Implemented email security (anti-phishing, BEC protection). Conducted security awareness training. Hardened firewall rules and segmentation.
Measurable Outcome
MFA on all users. Phishing simulation click rate dropped 60%. Firewall rules documented and reduced. Client data handling procedures documented.
