5 Ways That Firm Central Keeps Your Data Safe in the Cloud
As an attorney, the importance of storing and keeping your client information secure is equally obvious and compelling. There have been several well-documented data breaches in recent years involving major corporations such as Target, Anthem, eBay, Home Depot and Equifax, to name a few. Not to mention the growing number of nefarious phishing emails delivered in hacking attempts containing dangerous malware and ransomware- threatening you and your data.
Put simply, it is imperative to store your confidential client information in a secure environment. Failing to do so is an open invitation to having that client data compromised, and in turn, damaging your reputation as an attorney and exposing your law firm to potential liability and significant risk.
Enter Firm Central. With Firm Central, you have the ability to store your data in a format that is accessible to you, while at the same time ensuring that data is safe and secure.
The following are five ways that Firm Central accomplishes the vital task of ensuring that your data is safe, secure, and accessible:
Firm Central places the highest importance on the protection of your client and firm information. Using Thomson Reuters owned data centers, Firm Central is the only practice management solution that has been SOC II certified. SOC 2 means the American Institute of Certified Public Accounts has stringently reviewed our security systems, procedures and protocols.
Our data centers are not only owned by Thomson Reuters, but are based entirely in the United States. In addition, our data centers possess ISO 9001 quality management standards and ISO 27001 information security management standards certification, and are tightly controlled and monitored 24 hours a day / 7 days a week.
Firm Central uses the same security protections utilized by banks and brokerages – namely, secure hypertext transfer protocol sessions with 256-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS). The data protection we provide with Firm Central is in stark contrast to our competitors. For example, some of our competitors store their information on box.com. It was revealed earlier this year that box.com was successfully targeted by hackers, which led to confidential client information being readily accessible to anyone using common search engines such as Google and Bing. Don’t let this happen to you!
Not only is client information secure when you access it on Firm Central, it is also safe when your clients access it through the Firm Central Client Portal. When you share sensitive documents with clients via the Firm Central Client Portal – as opposed to sending those documents via unsecured e-mail – your clients log in to the Client Portal via an HTTPS website with 256-bit encryption certification. This ensures that not only the documents you share with your client are secure, but also any documents your client shares with you through the Client Portal are secure, as well.
Your client information is not only secure on Firm Central, but also supported with a staff of over 500 engineers and security personnel. If you should ever require any assistance in accessing or working with your data, Firm Central maintains a staff of Information Technology and Technical Support agents that are available to assist you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Put your mind at ease by keeping your sensitive data safe with a trusted partner- Firm Central.
