The firm where one wire can't go to the wrong account.

Privileged documents, wire-fraud risk, and document-retention rules. The professional services stack that prevents the headline you don't want — without making the work-from-court setup harder than it already is.

·· 01 ·· Where firms get hit

The risks we see at law and accounting firms

Wire-fraud on closings

Real-estate and trust closings are the highest-value phishing targets in the country. One redirected wire ends a firm.

Document-retention exposure

Bar and AICPA rules dictate retention periods most firms can't prove they meet. Backups need to be defensible, not just present.

Mobile-laptop loss

Partner laptops travel. An unencrypted laptop left in a courtroom is now a notifiable incident.

Privilege via email mistake

Auto-fill and reply-all do real damage. We layer DLP rules to flag the patterns before they leave the building.

·· 02 ·· The managed stack

The Micro-IT professional-services stack

A firm on our managed stack gets full-disk encryption enforced, conditional-access policies that block unfamiliar geographies, and a wire-verification playbook every staff member signs annually.

  • Managed Endpoint with full-disk encryption
  • Managed Inbox with impersonation protection
  • Managed Site with conditional-access policies
  • Wire-verification playbook + annual signoff
  • Document-retention backup (defensible)
  • Mobile Device Management on every laptop
·· 03 ·· The first 90 days

What changes in the first 90 days

Firms we onboard often have partner-level accounts with no MFA, laptops without encryption, and a "wire process" that lives in someone's head. By day 90, every account is hardened, every laptop encrypted, and the wire process is a one-page document signed by every person who touches a closing.

Common questions

What does IT support for law firms include?
IT support for law firms includes managed endpoints with full-disk encryption enforced, email security with impersonation protection, conditional-access policies that block sign-ins from unfamiliar geographies, mobile device management on every laptop, defensible document-retention backups, and a wire-verification playbook every staff member signs annually. The design goal is specific: privileged documents stay privileged, a lost laptop is a non-event, and no wire leaves the firm without verification.
How does managed IT help with document-retention rules?
Bar and AICPA rules set retention periods most firms can’t prove they meet. We make the backup defensible rather than just present — retention configured to the rule, immutable storage, and restore tests so the firm can show the records are actually recoverable. Encryption on every traveling laptop closes the other gap: an unencrypted laptop left in a courtroom is a notifiable incident.
How much does IT support cost for a small law firm?
$79 per device per month, $20 per mailbox per month, and from $149 per location per month for the managed network. A typical 8–25-user firm runs Endpoint + Inbox + Site + Backup. Every plan includes EDR with 24/7 SOC monitoring, MFA enforcement, DNS filtering, and immutable, restore-tested backups — the full stack is documented on the security page.

How do you stop wire fraud on closings?
With a process, not just software. Real-estate and trust closings are the highest-value phishing targets in the country, so every firm on our stack gets a one-page wire-verification playbook with annual signoff, layered on impersonation protection in email and MFA on every account. The wire-fraud playbook article explains how the attack works — and the check that stops it.
