Practicing law requires absolute confidentiality. Your technology should meet the same standard.
Firms hold some of the most sensitive information a client will ever share. BlackKey works alongside attorneys to keep that trust intact — quietly, and without disrupting a single billable hour.
The risks most relevant to firms today — explained plainly.
Attorney-Client Privilege
Privileged communication carries obligations that extend to every device and account it touches. We design your systems so that privilege is protected by default, not by luck.
Microsoft 365 Security
Most firms run their practice on Microsoft 365 without its protections fully configured. We tighten access controls, permissions, and sharing settings so the platform works the way it should.
Ransomware
A locked file server can halt a firm overnight. We reduce that possibility through layered backups and monitoring, so an incident becomes an inconvenience, not a crisis.
Phishing
Convincing impersonation emails targeting wire instructions and client data are now routine. We help staff recognize them and put technical safeguards in place behind the scenes.
Device Theft
A lost laptop or phone shouldn't mean a lost case file. We ensure every device is encrypted and remotely manageable, so a missing device stays a minor matter.
Secure Email
Sensitive documents still travel by email more often than firms realize. We put encryption and secure sharing in place so correspondence stays between the people meant to see it.
The specific exposures we watch for in a legal practice.
Business Email Compromise
Criminals impersonate partners, clients, and vendors to redirect payments or obtain confidential information. We strengthen identity, email, and approval controls to reduce that exposure.
Wire Fraud
A single altered instruction can create substantial financial and reputational damage. BlackKey helps firms establish safer processes for receiving, verifying, and approving sensitive requests.
Privilege Exposure
Privileged material may be exposed through personal devices, weak sharing settings, unmanaged accounts, or accidental forwarding. We help firms keep confidential information under appropriate control.
Lost or Stolen Devices
A missing phone or laptop should not become a reportable incident. Devices can be encrypted, managed, restricted, and remotely protected.
Unauthorized Cloud Sharing
Cloud platforms make sharing easy, but convenience can quietly create excessive access. We help firms understand and control who can view, download, or forward sensitive information.
Incomplete Microsoft 365 Security
Many firms use Microsoft 365 without fully configuring identity, access, sharing, logging, recovery, and email protection. BlackKey helps close those gaps.
Downtime isn't an IT problem. It's a billable-hour problem.
Every hour an attorney spends waiting on a slow system, a locked account, or a support queue is an hour that cannot be billed, and cannot be recovered. Reliable technology isn't a convenience for a firm — it's the difference between a productive week and a lost one. We treat uptime as seriously as you treat your calendar.
An advisor to your firm, not a vendor to manage.
We don't sell products or push tickets. We sit alongside your firm the way your accountant or malpractice carrier does — understanding how you practice, anticipating what could go wrong, and making sure it doesn't.
