Secure Access to Confidential Client Data

Law Firms

Confidentiality is fundamental to the legal profession. Clients expect, and regulators require, that law firms safeguard sensitive information, regardless of where or how work is done.

Yet many firms now operate in a hybrid model, with attorneys working from home, hotels, airports, or client sites. This flexibility supports productivity, but it also introduces a security blind spot: the uncontrolled network edge.

Loxada helps eliminate that risk by securing the networks your legal teams use outside your IT department’s reach, ensuring that remote access is consistent, compliant, and protected from increasingly sophisticated threats.

Why the Network Edge Is a Risk

The “network edge” is the point where your systems connect to the internet, and when that edge exists outside your law firm’s infrastructure, you no longer control it.

Staff often rely on routers provided by home ISPs or public networks in hotels and shared workspaces. These setups:

  • Run outdated or unpatched firmware
  • Can be reset to factory defaults, removing prior security settings
  • Lack network separation, allowing other devices to snoop or interfere
  • Provide no central visibility or control from your IT team

 

These risks are not theoretical. According to recent guidance from the NSA and CISA, edge devices like routers are now prime targets for attackers. The NSA’s 2023 report on edge security highlights the need for verifiable, controlled firmware, centralized update mechanisms, and proactive threat mitigation.

Your Professional Duty Doesn’t End at the Office

The ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct require lawyers to prevent unauthorized disclosure or access to client information.

That means the tools, systems, and networks used to access case files, client communications, or privileged records all fall within scope.

Moreover, the FTC Safeguards Rule, extended to include certain legal and tax professionals, now mandates specific measures for securing customer data, especially when accessed remotely.

Firms involved in regulated practice areas (e.g., healthcare litigation, financial compliance, M&A) may also be subject to industry-specific data protection rules.

How the Threat Landscape Has Changed

Hacking is no longer the domain of sophisticated criminal syndicates. Today, nearly anyone can purchase attack tools through Hacking-as-a-Service platforms or use AI-driven scripts to exploit known vulnerabilities.

Common attack vectors now include:

  • DNS hijacking: Redirecting users to fake login portals
  • Man-in-the-Middle attacks: Intercepting case data before encryption kicks in
  • Lateral threats: Malware spreading between devices on the same local network
  • Router compromise: Allowing persistent surveillance without detection

A compromised router in a hotel room, Airbnb, or home office can silently expose sensitive legal work, even if the endpoint is protected and the files are encrypted.
