ABA Model Rule 1.6 requires attorneys to make reasonable efforts to prevent the inadvertent or unauthorized disclosure of client information. This obligation extends to the technology your firm uses — from email and document storage to network security and mobile devices.
The Florida Bar has echoed these requirements, making it clear that attorneys must understand the risks associated with their technology choices and take appropriate steps to safeguard confidential client data. Ignorance of technology is not a defense.
In practical terms, this means your firm needs encrypted email, secure document management, access controls, regular security assessments, and an incident response plan. Simply IT provides all of this — so you can focus on practicing law while we handle the technology safeguards.
End-to-end encrypted email and messaging ensuring all client communications remain confidential and protected from interception.
Role-based access controls, multi-factor authentication, and audit logging ensuring only authorized personnel can access sensitive client files.
Encrypted storage, version control, and secure sharing for all client documents — with full audit trails for accountability.
A documented plan for responding to data breaches or security incidents, including notification procedures and containment strategies.
“Switching to Simply IT was one of the best decisions we made for our firm. They understood our security requirements from day one and set up encrypted communications, proper access controls, and a backup system that actually works. Our old IT provider never even mentioned half of this.”
Attorney cybersecurity obligations come from multiple, overlapping sources — the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct, Florida Bar guidance, malpractice insurance carrier requirements, and increasingly demanding client contracts from corporate and government clients. Simply IT implements technology that addresses every applicable requirement and produces the documentation each source expects. Click any framework for what we cover.
Model Rule 1.6(c) requires lawyers to make reasonable efforts to prevent inadvertent or unauthorized disclosure of, or unauthorized access to, information relating to the representation of a client. This is the foundational cybersecurity obligation for every attorney — not aspirational, not future-state, but already in effect and already enforced through bar discipline and malpractice litigation.
