Information Audit for Law Firms.
Data Governance & Management for Law Firms
Being an international law firm today can be risky for several reasons. One of the main risks is the potential for data breaches. As international law firms handle a large amount of sensitive and confidential information, they are often targeted by cybercriminals looking to steal or hold data for ransom. A data breach can result in significant financial losses, legal liability, and reputational damage for the firm.
Taking some initial steps can go a long way to help law firms ensure that sensitive data is properly secured, classified, and disposed of.
An Information Audit is crucial in protecting your law firm from data breaches and ensuring regulatory compliance. It allows you to identify vulnerabilities and potential risks, giving you the ability to take proactive measures to mitigate them. Don't wait for a data disaster to occur; schedule an Information Audit today and gain peace of mind knowing that your sensitive information is properly secured.
Data Discovery — Information Audit
The Information Audit is intended for Internal Auditors and Risk Managers of international law firms who need to know where their data is stored, who has access to it, and what is done with it in order to understand the risks they face.
And to be able to recommend courses of action that will protect or help create value from the organization's data assets.
Conducting interviews with data owners and creating an inventory of data assets and PII contained therein is the first logical step in developing a Data Privacy Program action plan or to establish a set of Data Governance policies.
Formalize the data classification initiative by establishing appropriate policies and handling standards, as well as establishing a structured steering committee to ensure accountability and consistency.
Understand where your data resides and what safeguards are in place to protect it.
Ascertain that the protection is proportional to the sensitivity and criticality of the situation.
