Law firms are required to control 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 and regulatory requirements (e.g. ABA, EU, PI) or the courts. Securing information access across all firm personnel, offices and technology systems is no easy task. Traditional approaches that rely on fee earners and support staff to enforce confidentiality are no longer sufficient to satisfy client’s needs and regulatory requirements.

Compliguard Protect is an ethical walls and information barriers system designed for 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 all mission-critical firm systems, in real-time.
