Northern VA Law Firms
Identity-first security for reputation-sensitive firms handling classified-adjacent work, departing attorneys, and politically exposed clients.
GovCon-adjacent firms face threats most MDR doesn't cover: departing partners walking out with client data, ethical-wall violations, and remote access from high-risk geographies. Zaun turns insider risk and matter data governance into managed, evidence-based programs your MSP can sell and prove.
What makes this niche different
Law firms lose data through departures, not breaches. Pair that with classified-adjacent work and remote attorneys connecting from hotels and airports worldwide — and you need programs built for this risk profile, not generic MDR.
Bespoke Monitoring Programs
Insider Risk + Termination Monitoring
Departing attorneys routinely take matter files, contacts, and work product. One missed exfiltration event can trigger bar complaints, client lawsuits, or loss of clearances.
- Detect bulk downloads, USB activity, personal-cloud transfers, and print spikes during notice periods.
- Monitor for mailbox-forwarding rules, PST exports, and calendar scraping tied to departing users.
- Evidence-first scope and timeline for every flagged event — ready for legal review.
- Monthly reporting: departures handled, events flagged, containment actions, policy gaps.
Matter Data Governance
Client-matter data is the firm's most valuable and most exposed asset. Unauthorized access or silent exfiltration can end engagements and destroy client trust.
- Monitor access to sensitive matter folders, SharePoint sites, and DMS repositories — flag anomalies.
- Detect cross-matter access violations (ethical-wall breaches) and unauthorized external sharing.
- Alert on bulk sync-to-device, downloads, and sharing to personal accounts or outside domains.
- Monthly reporting: access anomalies, ethical-wall compliance, exfiltration attempts, tightening recs.
Response Governance
- Insider risk and matter-data anomalies are treated as reputation-critical incidents — escalated immediately.
- Disruptive actions (disable user, revoke session, quarantine mailbox) route through MSP approval unless pre-authorized.
- Every escalation includes scope, timeline, and litigation-ready containment documentation.
Geo-Risk + Remote Access Scrutiny
- Flag sign-ins from OFAC-sanctioned countries, known adversary IPs, and impossible-travel patterns.
- Correlate geo-risk with sensitive matter access — escalate when high-risk location meets privileged data.
- Monthly reporting: geo-flagged sessions, travel-risk trends, conditional-access recommendations.
