Legal

5nines' data backup and recovery solution for law firms allows you to protect sensitive information from security threats and further enables you to comply with government regulations.

Law firms are increasingly dependent on electronic information assets, which they collect, aggregate, analyse, use, and disseminate in the course of their representation of clients. This information includes attorney-client communication, clients’ proprietary data, law firm employee personally identifiable information and other confidential information. Law firms that service a significant amount of business with entities in the health care industry may qualify as “business associates” of such entities covered by HIPAA and thus be subject to its breach notification requirements. Because of ethical and regulatory obligations, law firms have a heightened obligation to their clients to maintain confidentiality, which requires solicitors to competently determine how to transmit and store their clients’ information. The attorney-client relationship is based on trust, and being able to rely upon one’s solicitor to keep sensitive information private, is at the heart of that relationship.

Lest we forget that law firms are based on “billable hours”. Should a law firm, or legal entity, experience downtime due to a server crash, power outage or the like, and the firm is unable to work, that would mean significant lost revenue. Clearly, law firms must address their backup and continuity needs based both on strict compliance and regulation issues as well as potential lost revenue.

For a legal entity, the cost of downtime is based on:

The cost of continuing without the data
The cost of recreating the data
The cost of notifying users in the event of a compromise
Loss of reputation
Fees incurred due to compliance breach

It’s imperative these firms implement a secure, robust business continuity solution with hybrid cloud capabilities, and not solely a backup product.

Instant Virtualisation

Backups can be virtualised locally to the 5nines device or to the secure 5nines cloud, instantly, with the click of a button. This unique feature is a key component to intelligent business continuity. Should a local disaster occur, business can continue as usual in the 5nines cloud.

Imaged-Based Backup

Unlike other data backup providers, 5nines backs your entire system including files, programs, and operating systems.

Hybrid Cloud

Storing backups both on-site and at 5nines' data centers means that data is safe and accessible during any type of disaster scenario (natural disasters, system failure, etc.).
