Overview
Law firms, accounting practices, and financial advisory firms in Chicago manage some of the most sensitive client data in the economy — client privilege, financial records, personal tax information, transaction data. The cybersecurity implications of that sensitivity are significant. A breach of a law firm's client files is not just a technology problem; it is a professional liability, a bar ethics issue, and a client trust catastrophe. A breach of an accounting firm's tax client data triggers breach notification obligations and reputational damage that exceeds most security program budgets many times over.
SecureNext works with Chicago-area professional services firms to assess and harden their security posture against the specific threats that privilege, financial data, and professional licensing obligations create. For firms preparing for SOC 2 audits or PE transaction due diligence, we provide the compliance and assessment support those milestones require.
