Secure Documents and Files

Overview

The security of legal files is very important. Because many law firms are concerned about file security, they instruct their Information Technology (IT) departments, if they have one, to secure their servers, disk drives, and folders so that only authorized people in the firm can read and save files. For example, in the firm, the IT department may provide access to folders for specific clients only to the lawyers and paralegals who work with those clients. Is this all that is required of the firm to secure its documents and files? It's a great first step, but one is responsible for ensuring the security of the own files.
