Lawyers have an ethical obligation to maintain the knowledge and skill necessary to provide competent representation. To meet this requirement, lawyers should keep abreast of changes in the law and its practice, including the benefits and risks associated with relevant technology. Attorneys also have an obligation to safeguard clients’ property, including taking reasonable precautions to protect client data when using cloud-based storage. The issue extends beyond confidentiality; attorneys must be certain that files will be secure from destruction or degradation, and they must be able to retrieve data in a usable format when utilizing a web-based partner.
Case Anywhere’s muti-tier security approach addresses these ethical concerns. Among other protective measures, all data transmitted to the site:
- Is safeguarded in a manner consistent with the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework;
- Is securely hosted in the Microsoft Azure Data Center and draws on the resources of the Microsoft Security Response Center;
- Is backed up and can be restored quickly if needed to reinstate Case Anywhere’s production environment;
- Is kept non-public pursuant to our Terms of Use which limits access to authorized users; and
- Is available for printing or export to local computers or devices for offline storage
These safeguards, detailed security measures, and redundant backups make our hosted files more secure than those found on many lawyers’ personal computers. Coupled with our proven track record of stability and customer support in serving the legal community for over a decade, Case Anywhere is the secure choice to manage your next case.
