Cybersecurity for Small & Mid-Sized Law Firms
The first hour after an incident decides whether your firm keeps the client’s money, secrets, and trust.
HackFirstAid for Law Firms walks 1–100-attorney firms through incident response, trust-account wire-fraud prevention, and outside-counsel-guidelines readiness — in plain language, with no enterprise security tax.

The wire-recall window is measured in hours, not days.
Personal coverage for every attorney’s household. Included.
Attorneys and staff go home as elevated identity-theft targets — high income, public bar records, a target-rich employer. Personal-tier HackFirstAid is bundled into every paid firm subscription at no extra cost, for every named person’s household. Same model boards, leadership, and medical subscribers have had since day one.
From the first hour
What outcomes look like.
Anonymized composites drawn from real engagements — no client, firm, or matter identifiers.
Trust-account wire fraud
A 12-attorney firm recalled a six-figure settlement wire inside the 72-hour window with a 40-minute callback protocol.
Ransomware mid-litigation
A boutique litigation firm kept every court deadline the week its DMS was encrypted — three extensions, one paper filing, zero missed hearings.
OCG audit
A regional firm turned a failed AmLaw client audit into a signed 90-day remediation plan and a reusable questionnaire library — engagement preserved.
Composites, not case studies. Details are altered to protect client confidentiality.
The Firm Brief
One email a month. Plus the alerts that can’t wait.
A monthly read for managing partners and firm administrators: the wire-fraud schemes hitting firms now, the platform changes that affect your posture, client-questionnaire trends, and the incidents that landed well — or didn’t — at firms you’ve heard of. Plus incident-driven alerts when something needs your desk inside 24 hours.
Upgrade — vCISO
Answer the client security questionnaire — and protect the trust account.
Training gets your people ready and advisory is there when something breaks. When you need someone to own the program — your confidentiality duty, trust-account controls, and the OCG / outside-counsel security questionnaires clients keep sending — and be the name your clients’ GCs and OCG teams, your LawPRO-style insurer, and the regulator can point to — that’s the HackFirstAid vCISO: a security leader on retainer.
Built for the trust-account wire-fraud attempt and the client demanding a named security contact before they’ll keep sending work.
We own your program
Strategy, risk register, roadmap, governance, cadenced reviews, and the client GC / OCG conversations.
Independent partners execute
DFIR, SOC, pen-testing, tooling, legal, brokerage — coordinated by your vCISO, never sold by us.
Billed annually. Every tier includes a named vCISO, a 90-day on-ramp, and household coverage.
The HackFirstAid Family
One cyber-readiness stack. Twelve audiences.
A law firm is targeted at the trust account, in the inbox, and through every vendor it shares client data with. HackFirstAid also covers your clients’ businesses and practices, your municipality and schools, the boards, executives, and IT teams around them, the pension administrators and family offices whose fiduciary and wire-fraud incidents so often land on a law firm’s desk first — and the Household portal your paid plan includes for every attorney’s family.
For you and your family at home.
