Challenges the Legal Industry Faces
The legal industry is another highly targeted industry for criminals to steal data from. They hold extremely confidential client information, such as medical records, social security numbers, financial information, and more that criminals want for their gain. Therefore, law firms must comply with HIPAA’s strict guidelines, as well as ABA Rule 1.6, CCPA, SHIELD, and any other state data privacy regulations.
HIPAA has some of the highest non-compliance fines of up to $1.5 million and 10 years in prison. For a small local practice, the average estimated cost of a data breach is $36,000. These breaches can also greatly damage law firms’ reputations as at least 31% of their clients will no longer work with them.
Selling or donating your firm’s unused or outdated devices puts them at risk of getting into the wrong hands. Electronics recycling and data destruction services ensure that your firm’s data is unrecoverable. Depending on your provider, you may get to witness the destruction of your devices onsite. If not, your provider will come to your location to pick your devices up and transport them to their secure destruction and recycling facility. Either way, you will receive a certificate of destruction that details the process and proves it complied with all state and federal regulations.
