Penetration Testing for Law Firms

Adversary-simulation testing scoped for legal practices — external perimeter, client portals, document-exchange systems, and the email paths wire-fraud crews target. Every finding is written twice: once for your IT provider, once for the partner who has to sign the engagement letter.

What we test

Testing is scoped to the surfaces that actually hold privileged material, not a generic IT checklist.

  • External perimeter: public IPs, VPN concentrators, remote-desktop gateways, exposed admin panels
  • Web application and client intake portals, including file upload and document-download paths
  • Authentication: MFA bypass, session handling, password-reset flows, SSO misconfiguration
  • Email infrastructure: SPF, DKIM, DMARC, lookalike-domain exposure, and wire-fraud pretext paths
  • Cloud and practice-management integrations: storage buckets, API keys, third-party OAuth grants

How the engagement runs

A fixed, documented sequence so there are no surprises for your firm or your clients.

  • Scoping call and written authorization — nothing intrusive happens without it
  • Passive reconnaissance and attack-surface mapping
  • Active testing windows agreed in advance to avoid disrupting filings or closings
  • Immediate out-of-band alert for anything critical, before the report is finished
  • Report delivery, remediation guidance, and a free retest of remediated findings

Reporting your insurer and clients accept

The deliverable is designed for three audiences: your IT provider, your cyber carrier, and the corporate client sending you an outside counsel security questionnaire. Findings map to ABA Model Rule 1.6, Formal Opinion 477R, the FTC Safeguards Rule, and common carrier questionnaire language.

Frequently asked questions

How much does law firm penetration testing cost?

Most small-to-midsize firm engagements land between $4,000 and $25,000 depending on scope, with continuous platform coverage starting far lower. Attorney Armor plans start at $99/mo for automated assessment and scale to full manual engagements.

Will testing touch privileged client documents?

No. We test the infrastructure surrounding your data — login flows, APIs, server configurations, exposed services — without reading document contents. Findings reference exposure surfaces, not privileged material.

How often should a law firm pentest?

Annually at minimum, plus after any material change: a new client portal, a practice-management migration, an office move, or a merger. Continuous monitoring covers the gaps between formal tests.
