Incident Response for Law Firms
When a firm is hit, the hard questions arrive in the first hour: what did they reach, is privileged material implicated, who must be told, and by when. We build the plan in advance and stand behind it when it is needed.

Before the incident
The plan is the deliverable that determines how the first day goes.
- Written incident-response plan with named roles and escalation paths
- Tabletop exercise with partners, IT, and accounting
- Pre-negotiated contacts: carrier hotline, breach counsel, forensics
- Backup restoration test with documented recovery time
During the incident
Containment guidance, evidence preservation so forensics and any later litigation are not compromised, and a running timeline. We work alongside your breach counsel and carrier-appointed forensics rather than replacing them.
After the incident
Impact analysis on which matters and clients were implicated, notification decision support against ABA Formal Opinion 483 and applicable state statutes, and a remediation program with retested evidence for your carrier.
Frequently asked questions
Do you replace our breach counsel?
No. Attorney Armor provides cybersecurity services, not legal advice. We work under and alongside your breach counsel, who directs privilege and notification decisions.
Do we have to notify clients after every incident?
Not necessarily. ABA Formal Opinion 483 and state statutes turn on what data was accessed or acquired and whether current or former clients are affected. Our impact analysis gives your counsel the facts needed to make that determination.
