How Assured Law Securely Stores and Shares Client Data with Partners

Based on the privacy policy established for Assured Law, the firm has implemented a comprehensive data security framework that addresses both storage and sharing of confidential client information. This approach aligns with industry best practices and professional responsibility requirements for law firms handling sensitive legal data.

Secure Storage Infrastructure

Assured Law utilizes a multi-platform approach for secure data storage, relying on established third-party providers that maintain enterprise-level security standards. The firm stores personal information on secured platforms including Wix, Microsoft, and Zendesk, each of which has achieved significant compliance certifications and security frameworks.

Platform Security Certifications

Wix Security Framework: The platform maintains SOC 2 Type 2 compliance, PCI DSS Level 1 certification, and multiple ISO certifications including ISO 27001 and ISO 27018 . Wix employs AES-256 encryption for data at rest and uses HTTPS with TLS 1.2+ for data in transit, providing comprehensive protection throughout the data lifecycle.

Microsoft 365 Compliance: Microsoft's platform offers robust compliance tools specifically designed for the legal industry, helping law firms meet international regulations while securing client data. The platform includes advanced data loss prevention features and encryption capabilities that align with legal professional requirements.

Zendesk Security Measures: Zendesk maintains SOC 2 Type II compliance, ISO 27001:2022 certification, and multiple other security frameworks including HIPAA compliance capabilities. The platform provides enterprise-class security features with comprehensive audits of applications, systems, and networks.

Data Sharing with Partners

Assured Law's approach to partner data sharing follows a structured framework designed to maintain attorney-client privilege while enabling comprehensive legal services . The firm shares personal information with Assured Law partners specifically to provide more comprehensive legal services, operating under established legal principles for multi-attorney collaboration.

Attorney-Client Privilege in Partner Relationships

When law firms share client information with partners, they operate under the joint client privilege framework, which protects communications between affiliated legal professionals working on matters of common interest . This privilege extends to communications between employees of affiliated entities and centralized legal teams when representing clients on shared legal matters.

The joint client privilege differs from other information-sharing privileges in that it specifically applies when multiple attorneys within the same firm or affiliated firms represent clients on matters requiring collaborative expertise . This framework ensures that privilege protection remains intact while allowing necessary information sharing for comprehensive legal representation.

Professional Responsibility and Compliance

ABA Model Rules Compliance

Assured Law's data handling practices align with ABA Model Rule 1.6 regarding confidentiality of information, which governs the disclosure of client-related information during representation .The rule establishes that lawyers must not reveal information relating to representation without informed client consent, with specific exceptions for providing comprehensive legal services .

Under Rule 5.3, law firms must ensure that non-lawyer personnel, including third-party service providers, maintain the same level of confidentiality required of attorneys . This extends to cloud-based services and third-party platforms, requiring reasonable measures to ensure client information remains confidential and protected from breaches .

Technology and Security Requirements

The ABA's Formal Opinion 477 provides updated guidance on lawyers' obligations when using technology resources to communicate with clients and protect confidential information . While lawyers are not expected to be guarantors of data safety, they must undertake reasonable efforts to maintain confidentiality in an evolving technological landscape .

Law firms must implement comprehensive security policies that include clear business objectives, risk management procedures, data classification systems, encryption protocols, and incident response plans . These policies should address both internal operations and third-party service provider relationships .

Risk Management and Security Measures

Access Controls and Monitoring

Effective law firm data security requires strict access controls, limiting employee and partner access to the minimum level necessary to perform their roles . Multi-factor authentication should be implemented across all systems that allow access to client data, with continuous monitoring of user activity and privileged accounts .

Regular security risk assessments, vulnerability scans, and penetration testing help identify potential threats and maintain robust defense systems . Law firms should conduct ongoing monitoring to detect suspicious activity and potential data breaches, as sophisticated attacks can sometimes go unnoticed for extended periods .

Encryption and Communication Security

All client data should be encrypted both in transit and at rest, with secure communication channels established for all client interactions . This includes using encrypted email systems, secure file transfer portals, and password-protected meeting rooms for video conferencing .

Law firms should implement comprehensive backup strategies with encrypted offline storage to ensure business continuity and protection against ransomware attacks . Regular testing of backup and recovery systems ensures data can be quickly restored while maintaining security protocols .

Continuous Compliance and Updates

Assured Law's commitment to data security includes ongoing policy updates and compliance monitoring as technology and regulations evolve . The firm maintains the right to modify its privacy policy as needed to reflect changes in practices, legal requirements, and service offerings while ensuring clients are notified of material changes .

Regular staff training on cybersecurity protocols ensures all team members understand their responsibilities for maintaining client confidentiality and data security . This includes training on recognizing potential threats, proper use of security tools, and compliance with established policies and procedures .

The firm's approach to secure data storage and partner sharing represents a comprehensive framework that balances the need for collaborative legal services with the fundamental requirement to protect client confidentiality and maintain professional responsibility standards
