the Problem
It’s all on your shoulders. You run the show. You hold the technical responsibility to ensure the organization and people are running smoothly and protected from cyber attacks & potential breaches, otherwise the firm makes front page, headline news. Managing Partners get interviewed publicly and now have to answer hard questions, negatively affecting the firm’s reputation.
You can’t walk around the office without being stopped by someone asking you about a problem. To make matters worse, you’re reacting to fire drill after fire drill on top of the remote workforce challenges from home. If that wasn’t enough, the technology budget doesn’t allow you to get what you need. You came to this organization because you saw a good work-life balance. But that was just an arbitrary tactic to get you to sign on the dotted line. You haven’t seen a bonus or salary increase in years, and now the organization puts demands on your job role to show results or you will become obsolete.
Time & Workload
There is simply not enough time in the day for you to run the day to day, manage fire drills, and source, implement & configure advanced network & cybersecurity solutions that fit the needs of the organization.
Compliance Regulations & Audits
Law firms must comply with certain regulatory standards otherwise they run the risk of incurring some debilitating penalties. Regulatory standards are now mandating that businesses must adhere to certain cybersecurity standards or they could get hit with hefty fines.
Skilled Resources
Law firms typically do not have the seasoned technical engineers to architect, implement, and then maintain the advanced infrastructure needed to combat today's modern threats.
Budget & Tools
Law firms typically do not have the IT budget for all of the bells and whistles of network and cybersecurity standards because the business requires financial spend elsewhere to focus on client needs. The technical budget must be strategically spent to maximize technical ROI.
