For Law Firms

One compromised attorney email is privileged client data exposed and a Rule 1.6 problem.

Most firms under 50 attorneys have zero monitoring on their Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace accounts. SentinelSMB watches logins, forwarding rules, OAuth grants, and data exfiltration around the clock. Every alert is plain-English. No retainer, no hourly, no IT-speak.

Threats We Actually Catch

Every attack that targets law firms, live-monitored.

36 detection engines sweep your Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, AWS, and Cloudflare accounts every five minutes. Critical threats surface instantly. Normal activity gets filed away.

Privileged email harvesting

An attacker logs into one paralegal account, sets a silent forwarding rule, and reads every client communication for months. No antivirus catches it because no malware runs.

Trust account wire fraud

Fake payoff instructions sent from a hijacked partner inbox during a real estate or settlement closing. The funds leave the trust account before anyone notices the domain was off by one letter.

Work-product theft

Discovery materials, draft briefs, and client strategy memos downloaded in bulk from SharePoint or Google Drive overnight, then exfiltrated to an attacker-controlled inbox.

Why this is your problem, not your IT person’s.

Compliance Alignment

The rules and frameworks we line up to.

SentinelSMB provides the continuous-monitoring, access-control, and incident-response controls these frameworks require. Pro subscribers get the audit-ready evidence package.

ABA Model Rule 1.6(c)

Reasonable efforts to prevent disclosure

Lawyers must make reasonable efforts to prevent inadvertent or unauthorized disclosure of client information. 24/7 monitoring of the accounts that hold privileged data is now baseline conduct under ABA Formal Opinion 498.

ABA Formal Opinion 477R

Securing electronic communications

When sending information relating to representation, lawyers must use reasonable efforts. That standard includes continuous monitoring of the mailbox where privileged content is stored.

State breach notification laws

Notify clients when data is exposed

Every US state now requires notification when personal information is accessed without authorization. SentinelSMB gives you the audit trail and detection date you need to meet those deadlines.

Cyber insurance renewals

Continuous monitoring required

Law firm cyber carriers increasingly require documented 24/7 monitoring at renewal. SentinelSMB generates the underwriter-ready evidence package automatically for Pro subscribers.

Questions law firms ask.

Do you replace our IT provider?

No. SentinelSMB sits alongside your existing IT provider as the 24/7 cybersecurity monitoring layer. Your IT person handles workstations, networks, and software. We watch the cloud accounts where the actual attacks happen now.

How long does setup take?

Under 10 minutes. You grant read-only permissions to your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant via standard OAuth consent. Monitoring begins within 5 minutes of connection.

Will this trigger client consent issues?

No. SentinelSMB monitors metadata and access patterns on the firm's own accounts — not the content of attorney-client communications. It is equivalent to reviewing your own telephone bill for suspicious calls.

What happens when you detect a real threat?

You get a plain-English alert via email, SMS, Slack, or Teams — whichever you configure — with a severity score, the evidence we saw, and step-by-step response guidance. Pro subscribers can escalate directly to Incident Response Access.

How is this different from our antivirus or our MSP?

Antivirus watches laptops. An MSP typically handles IT helpdesk and patching. Neither of them runs 36 detection engines against your M365 and Google Workspace account activity every 5 minutes looking for account takeovers, forwarding rule hijacks, OAuth abuse, or exfiltration. That is what we do.

Built for firms that cannot afford a breach — or the headlines that follow one.
