Stakes of Information Security for Law Firms

Legal files contain some of the most sensitive information handled in any industry. If documents are compromised, a firm can face identity theft incidents, ethical violations, breach-of-duty claims, financial penalties, malpractice exposure, and long-term reputational damage.

Even one improperly discarded file can create enormous liability. Secure legal shredding eliminates the risk by ensuring that every document is destroyed beyond recovery.

Compliance Is Non-Negotiable

Law firms must comply with strict state and federal requirements governing how sensitive information is handled and disposed of. Viking Shred helps support compliance with FACTA, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the USA PATRIOT Act, the Identity Theft Penalty Enhancement Act, and HIPAA when a firm handles medical information.

The Risks of an Information Security Breach

Criminals can use client information for identity theft, competing parties can gain access to confidential case strategies, and opposing counsel can exploit leaked evidence or communications. Viking Shred’s controlled destruction process removes the risk created by paper and media that have reached the end of their retention period.
