A 100% cloud-based law firm: security, mobility and lower costs

Not long ago, having legal software meant buying a server, installing a program on every computer and hoping the backup worked. Today, the entire firm fits in the browser.

Practical advantages

• Mobility: check deadlines and cases from court, from home or on your phone;
• No installation: no more updating programs on every machine;
• Predictable cost: a monthly subscription instead of servers and maintenance;
• Automatic backup: done by the vendor, without depending on someone remembering;
• Distributed team: remote team members work on the same database.

What about security?

It's a natural question, but in most cases a professional vendor offers more security than a server in the office closet. Evaluate:

1. Encryption in transit (HTTPS) and at rest;
2. Data isolation for each firm;
3. Frequent, tested backups, including in a separate cloud;
4. Per-user access control and activity logs;
5. Data protection compliance and clarity about where data is stored.

Precautions on the firm's side

• Strong, unique passwords, with two-step verification when available;
• Access removed the same day someone leaves the team;
• Care with shared computers and public networks.

How IntegraLegal solves this

IntegraLegal is 100% cloud-based: it works in the browser and on your phone, with nothing to install. Data is isolated per firm, with encryption, automatic backups (including document backups in the cloud) and data protection compliance. Each firm can even have its own access address.
