Legal enablement kit
Law firms and legal tech companies are custodians of some of the most sensitive information in any industry. Attorney-client privilege, litigation strategy, M&A details, and intellectual property all demand rigorous protection. Yet the legal sector has historically underinvested in information security.
episki helps legal teams build and maintain security programs that satisfy SOC 2, ISO 27001, and the evolving expectations of corporate clients.
Why legal compliance matters now
ABA Model Rule 1.6 requires lawyers to make "reasonable efforts" to prevent unauthorized disclosure of client information. ABA Formal Opinion 477R further clarifies that lawyers must understand the technology they use and take appropriate precautions. As firms adopt cloud document management, AI-assisted research, and remote collaboration tools, the attack surface grows.
Nearly 29% of law firms have reported a data breach, and corporate clients increasingly require security questionnaires and SOC 2 reports before sharing sensitive materials.
How episki supports legal teams
- Privilege-aware controls: Build control frameworks that specifically address the classification and protection of privileged data, work product, and confidential client information.
- Client diligence portals: Give corporate clients scoped access to your security posture, certifications, and evidence without emailing sensitive documents.
- Vendor risk management: Track security and compliance across legal tech vendors including e-discovery platforms, document review tools, and cloud storage providers.
- Cross-framework mapping: Map controls once for SOC 2 and reuse evidence for ISO 27001, client questionnaires, and risk assessments.
Whether you are an AmLaw 200 firm or a legal tech startup, episki helps you demonstrate the reasonable security measures that clients and ethics rules demand.
