What should Clients ask for from their Law Firms about Security?

Does the firm have a security policy? Who does it cover? What systems does it cover?

How is information classified and protected? Sensitive data Public Data Protected (PII) data: HIPAA, GLB, FERPA,

state law, EU, PCI Default Classification of data

How are users trained? Is there an access control policy? What is done for physical and

environmental security?

What is done for incident response? Have you conducted a risk assessment? What security is provided for your network?

What security is in place for workstations, desktops, laptops?

Are personal devices allowed to connect to the network, and, if so, how are they secured?

What security is on your servers? What antivirus and malware software do you

use? What is your encryption policy? How are keys

managed? Do you have a log management standard?

What discipline is applied for failure to follow the policy?
