Security for Lawyers: A Living Map

Lawyers hold confidential information, client money and trusted communications, which makes them targets. Security protects three things: confidentiality, integrity and availability. It rests on duties of confidentiality, competence, data protection and contract. The basic controls (strong accounts, updates, backups, encryption, safe devices and checked suppliers) stop most attacks; the human layer, phishing and payment fraud, needs a verification habit. When it goes wrong, the first hours decide the damage. Press Play, click an idea, or trace a case. A simplified teaching map.
