Endpoint defence for a distributed legal firm

The Challenge

The firm faced targeted phishing against remote fee earners handling privileged client matters, requiring stronger endpoint control without hindering casework.

Key Issues:

• Targeted phishing on fee earners
• Unmanaged personal devices
• Slow malware containment times
• Privileged case files held on laptops

The Solution

We deployed managed endpoint detection, hardened device baselines, and automated containment for compromised laptops across every office.

Key Actions:

• Managed endpoint detection and response
• Hardened device baselines for every laptop
• Automated isolation of compromised hosts
• Phishing simulation and coaching

Client confidentiality lives on a laptop in an airport lounge. Protecting it means the endpoint has to defend itself when nobody is watching.

Compliance & Risk Management

Legal practices hold information their clients cannot afford to lose, under professional obligations that leave little room for error. Our endpoint programme evidences containment times, device compliance, and data handling, satisfying both regulators and client audits.

• Legal practices hold information that clients and courts cannot afford to see exposed.
• Endpoint Detection & Response – Behavioural blocking across every managed device.
• Data Loss Prevention – Controls on privileged case material leaving the estate.
• Security Awareness Training – Targeted phishing coaching for partners and fee earners.
