Law firms are responsible for protecting access to "sensitive" information under their care. Information can be deemed sensitive and require safeguarding for ethical and/or privacy reasons as defined by the firm itself, its clients, guidelines & regulatory requirements (e.g. ABA, EU, PI) or the courts. Lawyers are inherently ethical, but securing information access across all firm personnel, offices and technology systems is no easy task.
The CompliGuard™ Information Barriers & Ethical Walls Screening system allows law firms to protect sensitive information and reduce risk exposure by establishing, maintaining, monitoring and updating screens from a single point of entry to consistently secure content across multiple firm systems in real-time.
CompliGuard sets the standard for comprehensive protection:
-
- Needs-based Options – multiple screen types available to match firm-specific confidentiality requirements, such as exclusionary, inclusionary, limited access and referential.
- Flexible Use Scenarios – automates inevitable and ongoing changes in team structure, including contract lawyers and other temporary help
- Automated oversight – fast, automated screen creation, monitoring and updates stop potential breaches before they occur
- Enterprise safeguards – multiple system propagation (e.g. Document management, conflicts, time and billing) extends confidentiality screens for consistent and solid protection
- Compliance Auditing – real-time reporting and alerts, with flexible reporting options
- Risk-based perspective – single point of entry for consistent screens maintained by risk professionals who understand liability exposure
- Entirely software based - no "black box"
- Multi-tier - supports centralized & distributed environments without requiring additional purchases
- Scalable and fault-tolerant architecture – supports virtual environments but no open source (e.g. Linux) so there are fewer security concerns
