Solution · Legal

The MDR built for how law firms actually work.

Confidentiality, privilege, and ethics are baseline requirements, not features. We protect client data, escrow accounts, and M&A transactions with monitoring tuned for the threats that actually target legal practice.

What Law Firms Face

Law firms hold concentrated, time-sensitive, transaction-relevant data. Attackers know it. The threat profile is specific.

Wire Fraud

Business Email Compromise

Wire transfer instructions intercepted or spoofed during real estate closings, settlement disbursements, and IOLTA transactions. The single most common loss vector.

Confidentiality

Client Data Exfiltration

Privileged communications, deal documents, litigation strategy. High-value to competitors, opposing counsel, or extortion operators.

Transactions

M&A Ransomware Targeting

Attackers track public M&A activity and target firms during deal close windows. Maximum leverage, maximum payout pressure.

Insider

Departing Attorney Risk

Lateral moves bring data risk. Forensic capability to determine what left when an attorney did, defensible if matters arise.

Vendor

Co-Counsel and Vendor Compromise

Discovery vendors, expert witnesses, co-counsel. Each is a potential entry point for attackers seeking your matter data.

Regulatory

Bar Ethics Inquiry

State bar inquiries triggered by client data exposure require defensible incident documentation. Built into our IR output.

Common Questions

What about firms that have already been breached?

If you've experienced a wire fraud incident or data exposure, the immediate priority is forensic determination and ethics-compliant disclosure. We engage Aegis IR for active incidents, then transition to Fortress for ongoing coverage.

Do you support smaller firms (under 10 attorneys)?

Yes. Our $500 per month minimum makes Fortress accessible for solo practices and small firms. The 25-endpoint minimum is rarely a constraint for legal practices.

Will Fortress satisfy my malpractice carrier's cyber requirements?

Most malpractice carriers' cyber endorsements require documented MDR with breach warranty and IR retainer. Fortress satisfies all three. Your carrier may have additional requirements; we work with them directly during onboarding.

What about IOLTA and trust account specific monitoring?

Our detection content includes specific monitoring for IOLTA and trust account access patterns, including unusual fund movement instructions and email-based payment authorization changes.
