Security monitoring & compliance evidence for law firms

Corporate clients and cyber-insurers ask the same security questions. We monitor your firm around the clock and produce a control record—so you answer client questionnaires and Outside Counsel Guidelines with evidence, not guesswork.

Law firms hold concentrated client confidential information and face three pressures at once: client Outside Counsel Guidelines with security terms, cyber-insurance attestations at renewal, and professional-responsibility duties under ABA Rule 1.6(c) and the technology-competence duty of Rule 1.1 comment 8.

MDRwatchdog monitors attorney and staff endpoints, cloud mail, and identity, and maps that to a control record modeled on the ACC Model Controls and common insurance questions. Evidenced controls are marked; the rest are flagged for the firm to attest.

MDRwatchdog provides monitoring and evidence, not legal advice, and not a certification of any client's OCG. Read your own engagement terms and consult counsel.

Frameworks for Law Firms

Frequently asked questions

What compliance frameworks apply to law firms?

For law firms, the most relevant frameworks are Outside Counsel Guidelines, HIPAA Security Rule, SOC 2. Which apply to you depends on your contracts, data, and clients.

Why do law firms need continuous monitoring?

Law Firms face answering client Outside Counsel Guidelines and security questionnaires. Continuous monitoring both detects threats and produces the ongoing evidence that compliance frameworks and client security reviews increasingly require.

Can MDRwatchdog help law firms with more than one framework?

Yes. One monitored environment feeds every applicable framework, so a second framework is far more efficient than the first - the underlying evidence is shared.

MDRwatchdog provides security monitoring and compliance evidence to support readiness. It is not a certification and not legal advice. Certification and formal audits are performed by the appropriate authorized bodies (a C3PAO for CMMC, a licensed CPA firm for SOC 2, an accredited body for ISO 27001).
