How Law Firms and Tax Accounting Firms Safeguard Digital Data Securely and in Compliance with the Law
Law firms and tax accounting firms generate numerous sensitive documents every day that must be archived in a legally compliant and audit-proof manner. At the same time, it is essential to protect them from ransomware and data loss and to reliably comply with all legal requirements.
Reliable Protection for Confidential Client Data
From contracts and client correspondence to legal documents, data must be archived in a way that ensures it is always available, traceable, and tamper-proof. Various document management systems store this information in an audit-proof manner, while cyberattacks and ransomware specifically target digital files and backups. Violations of the GDPR, the German Federal Lawyers’ Act (BRAO), or notarization laws can have serious legal and reputational consequences.

Ransomware Attacks on Law Firm Data
Law firms and tax consulting firms are attractive targets for cybercriminals. These attacks encrypt confidential client data, paralyze systems, and jeopardize compliance deadlines as well as communication with tax authorities.
Compliance with Legal Data Protection Requirements
Laws and regulations such as the GDPR, the Federal Notary Code (BNotO), the Notarization Acts, and the Federal Lawyers’ Act (BRAO) require the secure, traceable, and tamper-proof archiving of client and document data.
Audit-compliant archiving
Contracts, documents, and correspondence must be preserved in an unaltered and legible state for decades. At the same time, data volumes, archiving periods, and traceability requirements are on the rise.
Diverse Systems and Limited Resources
Law firms and tax consulting firms use a wide range of specialized applications, document management systems (DMS), and case management systems that must work together securely and seamlessly—often with limited IT resources and under significant pressure to comply with data protection regulations.
