Legal Industry
The importance of secured documentation in the legal industry is very well understood due to the high level of confidentiality required. The number of confidential documents containing sensitive information about the client passes through many hands during the day.
Having multiple touchpoints in the system increases the risk of frauds, leaks, and breaches. Most of the data processed by legal firms are very sensitive, and if compromised can result in a bad reputation for the law firm and lead to a breach of privacy.
Challenges
With most of the processes and documents being shared online, cybersecurity has become one of the major concerns for law firms. The cases of frauds, data leaks, and breaches are constantly increasing. Ensuring the security of documents can be very expensive.
