Built for Illinois solo & small law firms

Your client’s trust is one breach away from gone.

Wire fraud at closing. Ransomware mid-trial. A phishing email that costs your firm its insurance. We help Illinois solo and small firms defend the data your clients trusted you with without the enterprise price tag or the IT jargon.

Five practice areas. Five different targets painted on your back.

01 / Estate Planning
Wills, trusts & beneficiary records
SSNs, family financial data, and beneficiary information sitting in matter folders. Long retention windows make you a dream target.
↳ Identity theft · Wire fraud
02 / Real Estate
Closings & escrow transfers
Business email compromise at closing is the #1 attack on small firms. One spoofed wire instruction can wipe a year of revenue.
↳ BEC · Wire fraud
03 / Family Law
Divorce, custody & asset records
High-conflict matters mean motivated adversaries. Sensitive financial discovery is a leverage prize for attackers and ex-spouses alike.
↳ Extortion · Account takeover
04 / Personal Injury
Medical records & IOLTA accounts
HIPAA-grade health data plus client trust funds. Ransomware crews specifically hunt PI firms for the double payout.
↳ Ransomware · IOLTA fraud
05 / Immigration
Passports, biometrics & vulnerable clients
Identity documents for clients with limited recourse. Government-grade data in a small-firm IT environment.
↳ Identity theft · Coercion

Built for the way small firms actually work not the way enterprise IT thinks they should.

MFA & Endpoint Detection

Multi-factor authentication on every login and 24/7 endpoint detection & response on every laptop. The two controls your cyber insurer keeps adding to the renewal questionnaire deployed and managed for you.

MFAEDR24/7 SOC

Wire Fraud & BEC Defense

Email authentication (DMARC/SPF/DKIM), anti-impersonation, and closing-day callback protocols. We harden the inbox where wire instructions live and train your team to spot the spoof before the wire goes out.

Ransomware & Incident Response

Immutable backups, ransomware-resistant architecture, and a written incident response plan tested against your matter management system. If something does happen at 11pm on a Friday, you have a number to call and people who answer.

Security Awareness Training

Short, lawyer-friendly training your team will actually finish. Phishing simulations using real BEC patterns we've seen hit Illinois firms, plus a 90-second refresher every month not a 4-hour annual slog.

Phishing simCLE-friendlyMonthly

Headquartered in Oak Brook. Built for Illinois.

We are not a national MSP with a templated checklist. We’re an Illinois cybersecurity team that has spent years inside small law firms and we know the difference between a 2-attorney estate practice in Naperville and a 9-attorney PI firm in the Loop.

That matters because the controls that work for a 200-person finance firm fall apart in a solo practice. Our job is to give you enterprise-grade defenses sized for a small firm budget, deployed quickly, and explained in plain English so the next time your insurance broker asks if you have endpoint detection, you can say yes without Googling what it means.

Flat, predictable pricing
Per-seat monthly pricing with no surprise project fees. You'll know exactly what cybersecurity costs your firm and what your insurance broker will see.

24/7 monitored SOC
Real humans watching your endpoints around the clock. Average alert-to-response is under 12 minutes because attackers don't keep business hours.
05
Insurance-broker ready
Every control we deploy is documented in a renewal packet your broker can drop straight into the underwriter's questionnaire.

Renewal in 60 days? Don’t wait for the questionnaire.

In 2026, your insurer is going to ask for proof, not promises.

The cyber-insurance market has hardened. Carriers are denying renewal to firms that can’t demonstrate basic controls and quietly walking away from claims when the attestations don’t match reality. Small law firms are the most-affected segment, because they’re the most-attacked one.

We’ve sat in on dozens of broker calls. We know which questions get scored the heaviest, which answers raise premiums, and which gaps quietly disqualify you from coverage altogether.

What managing partners actually ask on the first call.

Your IT person keeps the laptops running and that's important. We do something different. We monitor for active attacks, lock down email so wire fraud can't happen, and produce the documentation your insurer demands. Most of our clients keep their existing IT person and add us on top.
