StackGuard for Law Firms
Client confidentiality is your professional foundation. Most law firms have never tested whether it's actually secure.
Law firms handle privileged communications, transaction documents, litigation strategy, and personally identifiable information — often without dedicated IT security. StackGuard maps your exposure, identifies the AI tools already in use across your team, and delivers a prioritised action plan. Written for partners and practice managers, not technical staff.
The risks that matter most for law firms.
Legal practices face a distinct set of security risks that standard IT advice rarely addresses directly.
Privileged communications at risk in shared tools
Staff using AI drafting tools, cloud storage, or shared email accounts for client correspondence may be inadvertently exposing privileged communications to third-party platforms with unclear data retention policies.
Court portal and filing credential exposure
eCourt, eFiling, and state bar portal credentials are often stored in browsers or shared over WhatsApp. Credential compromise can lead to unauthorised access to case filings or, in adversarial contexts, document manipulation.
Client documents on personal devices and uncontrolled cloud
Affidavits, contracts, due diligence files, and client correspondence frequently live on staff personal phones and personal Google Drive accounts — outside any firm policy or backup regime.
Bar Council professional conduct obligations
The Bar Council of India Rules require advocates to maintain client confidentiality. A breach involving client communications or case strategy creates exposure under professional conduct rules in addition to reputational damage.
What StackGuard covers.
Three modules, applied in full or in the combination that fits your practice.
AI Readiness Assessment
Understand exactly how AI tools are being used across your firm — and where the gaps are.
- Tool inventory — what AI tools are staff already using, with or without authorisation?
- Data governance gaps — where is sensitive data, who can access it, and is it being fed into AI tools?
- Process mapping — which workflows are prime candidates for automation?
- AI adoption roadmap — a prioritised list of what to do in the next 90 days
Cybersecurity Threat Assessment
A clear picture of your exposure to the AI-era threats affecting legal practices right now.
- Phishing and social engineering exposure — AI-generated attacks are now indistinguishable from real communications
- Credential and access vulnerability scan — password reuse, MFA gaps, admin access that shouldn't exist
- Data exposure mapping — what sensitive data exists, where it lives, and who can reach it
- Third-party and vendor risk — the SaaS tools storing your data and whether they're secure
- AI tool security audit — are staff using ChatGPT or Claude in ways that leak confidential client data?
Future Threat Briefing
A plain-language briefing on the threat most firms haven't heard of yet — and why it matters today.
- What quantum computing means for business data security — in plain language, not technical jargon
- "Harvest now, decrypt later" risk assessment — is your encrypted data already being collected for future decryption?
- Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) readiness check against NIST's deprecated algorithm list
- Timeline and priority recommendations for cryptographic migration
The StackGuard Report
Every engagement delivers a 20–30 page report written for business leaders, not technical teams.
- Executive summary in plain language
- Traffic-light risk scorecard (red / amber / green)
- Prioritised action list with effort and cost estimates
- 90-day security improvement roadmap
- StackFlow automation recommendations to close process gaps
Choose your audit scope.
All tiers include a written report. No upsell pressure — if Quick Scan is right for your practice, we'll tell you.
A single privileged communication leaked to an opposing party — through a phishing attack, credential theft, or an AI tool retaining confidential files — can put a case and a client relationship at risk. A StackGuard audit starts at ₹75,000.
