Compliance As A Service
Ensure regulatory compliance without the complexity. We map your firm's actual obligations, build the controls that satisfy them, and maintain the evidence file you would need if a client, an insurer or the bar asked.
Your obligations are specific — treat them that way
ABA Model Rules 1.1 and 1.6 set the standard for competence and confidentiality. Virginia State Bar guidance applies it to technology. If you prepare taxes, IRS Publication 4557 and the FTC Safeguards Rule add a written information security program. A generic "we are compliant" claim is worth nothing; a mapped control with an owner and a date is worth everything.
Evidence, not assurances
Regulators and insurers do not grade intentions. They ask for a risk assessment, a written policy, training records, patch reports, backup test logs and vendor security terms. We maintain that evidence continuously so producing it takes an hour rather than a month of archaeology.
Client and insurer questionnaires
Increasingly your clients send their own security questionnaires before they will share matter files. We help you answer them accurately — and, where the answer would be uncomfortable, we fix the gap first.
Map
Identify which frameworks apply to your practice, and which controls each one actually requires.

Implement the technical controls and write the policies, with owners and review dates assigned.
