IT & CYBERSECURITY FOR LAW FIRMS

Protect client trust, settlement funds, and privileged work product.

NTS helps firms lock down Microsoft 365, reduce wire fraud and inbox compromise risk, control access to client work product, monitor endpoints and networks, and prove recoverability, whether we operate as your IT team or reinforce the one you already have. The goal: keep attorneys working, protect privilege, and give partners and carriers confidence that you’re in control.

Reduce the risk of wire and settlement diversion from compromised mailboxes. Clarify who can access which clients, matters, and shared folders. Prove that systems you manage can be recovered within time-frames that matter to the firm.

Your guide for Legal IT risk

One partner that secures your firm’s network and security functions.

We don’t replace your document management, case management, or practice management platforms. Instead, we secure the surrounding environment: email, identities, endpoints, and networks, so it’s much harder for attackers or mistakes to turn a compromised account or device into a problem for your clients, your funds, or your malpractice carrier.

Email compromise isn’t just an IT problem. It’s a client and carrier problem.

Attackers don’t need to “hack the firm.” Sitting quietly in one attorney’s inbox is often enough to change wire instructions on a closing, alter a settlement disbursement, or lift privileged strategy. That’s not just downtime; it’s client impact and hard questions from insurers.

Firm leadership shouldn’t be guessing whether old accounts are still active, whether vendors and experts can see more than they should, or whether a backup will actually restore client work product when it counts. You should be able to say, “We’ve secured the environment around our legal systems, and here’s the evidence our partners and carriers have seen.”

Common Law Firm IT Risks

  • Mailbox takeover used to redirect settlement or closing funds.
  • Lateral hires and contract counsel retaining access to prior matters and shared drives.
  • Shared inboxes and Teams spaces with no clear access boundaries or audit trail.
  • No tested recovery plan if ransomware locks down matter documents or discovery data.

NTS helps firms turn vague IT risk into a clear, defensible story.

We work with firms that carry real accountability for deadlines and privileged information. Your legal applications support the practice of law. NTS focuses on the users, devices, and networks you control that connect everything together.

Our role is to translate technical controls into language, procedures, and evidence that make sense to managing partners, operations, and carriers; so everyone can see that your environment is being actively managed and improved.

Our team of Senior Engineers

Why organizations choose NTS:

  • Security-first managed and co-managed IT built around legal workflows.
  • Optional in-house SOC for 24/7 monitoring, triage, and escalation.
  • Playbooks for inbox takeover, unauthorized wire changes, and ransomware.
  • Quarterly access and continuity checks for systems your firm manages.
  • Evidence you can share with partners, key clients, and carriers.

About Us

A simple plan you can explain in one slide to partners.

You don’t have to overhaul everything at once. We start where you are, stabilize the environment around client matters and then build a program you can stand behind.

1.
Assess where IT risk meets client work

We document where you’re exposed today: Microsoft 365 posture, inbox compromise and wire diversion risk, access for former attorneys and contract counsel, backup and recovery posture for matter files and email, and who is actually watching alerts after hours. You get a plain-language risk map prioritized by client, and matter.

2.
Stabilize & strengthen

We implement (or help your team implement) the controls that protect client trust: MFA and Conditional Access, phishing defense, disciplined onboarding and offboarding, data protection for sensitive work product, verified backups with timed restore tests for systems you manage, and incident playbooks focused on mailbox takeover and payment fraud.

3.
Operate & prove

We either stay in and run those controls for you, or co-manage them with your internal IT and firm leadership. That can include centralized log review, vulnerability scanning, SOC/SIEM correlation, quarterly access and continuity reviews, and reporting backed by evidence your partners and carriers can actually use.

What NTS secures around your legal platforms.

Your document management, case management, and practice management platforms are supported by their vendors. NTS focuses on the environment you manage: email, identities, endpoints, networks, and the supporting services where most incidents begin.

Microsoft 365 & Email Defense for Legal Workflows

We secure Outlook, Teams, and connected collaboration tools so attorneys and staff can move quickly without opening the door to wire fraud or silent inbox takeover

  • MFA and Conditional Access tuned for partners, associates, staff, and outside counsel.
  • Safe Links / Safe Attachments to block credential theft and altered wire instructions.
  • Targeted phishing defense and fraud awareness for closing and settlement teams.
  • Retention and mailbox audit logging aligned with client and carrier expectations.

Access & Privileged Data Control

We put structure around who can access which clients, which matters, and which shared folders and keep that access current across partner moves, laterals, and contractors.

  • Structured on-boarding/offboarding for attorneys, staff, contract counsel, and experts.
  • Quarterly access reviews tied to practice groups and matter sensitivity.
  • Data protection and labeling for privileged communications and work product.
  • Guidance for secure sharing with clients, co-counsel, and experts.

Continuity & Recovery for Active Matters

We help you stay functional when something breaks email, shared drives, or the systems you manage that support filings, closings, and discovery

  • Monitoring of sign-in activity, endpoints, and key infrastructure (with optional SOC).
  • Backup design and monitoring for internal systems you own.
  • Timed restore tests for matter files, email, and shared storage your firm manages.
  • Runbooks for mailbox takeover, unauthorized wire changes, and ransomware.

Governance, Monitoring & Optional SOC

When leadership, compliance, or insurers ask for proof, you shouldn’t have to scramble. We help you maintain current evidence with the option to add full SOC coverage.

  • Centralized evidence: access reviews, restore tests, key policies, and training records.
  • Log collection and review across firewalls, endpoints, identity, and critical systems.
  • Optional 24/7 SOC for correlation, enrichment, and escalation.
  • Executive reporting that ties IT risk to deadlines and client exposure.

What life looks like with — and without — a clear IT partner for your firm.

With NTS as your guide

  • You reduce the odds that a single compromised inbox or device leads to a major loss or incident.
  • Partners can see that access and continuity for systems you manage are under control.
  • Clients and carriers receive clear, organized evidence of readiness and response.
  • Your team has playbooks for inbox takeover, unauthorized wire changes, and ransomware.
  • You spend more time practicing law and less time chasing alerts and paperwork.

If nothing changes

  • Wire instructions or settlement details can be changed quietly from compromised accounts.
  • Former users, vendors, and experts may retain access longer than anyone realizes.
  • Backups for systems you own may fail when you finally need them.
  • Each client questionnaire, renewal, or incident becomes a scramble for documentation.
  • A single event can damage client confidence and strain carrier relationships.
