Information & Tech Management Services for Law Firms
Security, support, and efficient data flow are just a few reasons why law firms need managed IT services. It's critical for your tech infrastructure to be secure, reliable, and capable of safeguarding sensitive client data, from case files to medical records. At ArchTech, we help law firms across the United States take control of their data while seamlessly integrating it into their daily operations. As a 3x Microsoft Silver Certified Provider and a woman-owned business with over a decade of experience, ArchTech is a trusted partner you can count on.
Below, discover the top reasons law firms need a dedicated IT management provider.
Data Security and Compliance
Data security is a top priority in the legal industry, where client confidentiality and the integrity of sensitive information are paramount. Our managed IT services are designed to comply with stringent regulatory requirements set by organizations like HIPAA, the GDPR in Europe, and agencies like the DOJ. These regulations require strict adherence to data protection standards, such as encryption, secure backups, and network monitoring. Our IT services ensure these requirements are met, giving your firm peace of mind that your data is safeguarded at all times.
A crucial part of our approach is proactive system maintenance and regular updates to your digital infrastructure. This includes applying the latest software patches, updating plugins, and ensuring your systems remain protected against vulnerabilities and emerging threats. By staying ahead of potential risks, we help your firm maintain compliance and reduce the likelihood of breaches or legal penalties.
Additionally, our services support your firm’s compliance efforts in several key areas, including:
- Audit Transparency: Ensuring full visibility into how data is accessed and used during audits.
- Data Processing Justification: Verifying that data processing activities are legally justified and compliant with relevant regulations.
- Encryption & Access Controls: Managing secure, encrypted data systems with user access controls and comprehensive security policies.
- Privacy Compliance & Reporting: Supporting accurate reporting and privacy compliance to mitigate the risk of non-compliance penalties and legal action.
24/7 Support and Service
We understand that law firms — whether you're in the Midwest or on either coast — often operate beyond standard business hours. That’s why our experts are available 24/7/365 to provide round-the-clock monitoring and technical support. If an issue arises, we work swiftly to minimize downtime and prevent work-related disruptions. The stakes are too high to risk being unable to access critical documents, retrieve files, or communicate securely with clients. Technical issues like security breaches or system failures could jeopardize a case, lead to a mistrial, or expose sensitive client information. With 24/7 support, your firm can operate with confidence and security at all times.
Cloud Solutions and Implementation
In today’s fast-paced legal industry, cloud-based technology has become a game-changer for law firms. With tools like Microsoft SharePoint and other serverless (i.e., cloud-based) solutions, your firm can securely access important files from multiple devices at any time. These solutions not only enhance data security but also promote seamless collaboration among team members and clients, ensuring that everyone has access to the latest information — whether they’re in the office or working remotely.
Efficient Case Management
Case management software is essential for law firms, enabling legal teams to track cases, manage deadlines, and store critical documents and client information. However, this software relies on a robust and reliable IT infrastructure to function properly. Managed IT services ensure that your case management systems are always optimized and running smoothly through proactive monitoring, regular updates, and security checks to prevent disruptions and maintain peak performance.
Outsourcing IT management to ArchTech means your firm’s data is secure, accessible, and fully integrated into your daily operations. This allows your legal team to focus on managing cases and serving clients — not troubleshooting IT issues. With a dedicated IT management partner, your firm can boost productivity, streamline workflows, and provide a higher level of service to your clients.
Cost Efficiency and Scalability
Managed IT services offer law firms a powerful combination of cost efficiency and scalability. Instead of bearing the expense of hiring in-house IT staff or investing in costly hardware, firms gain access to advanced technology and expert support for a predictable monthly fee. This approach significantly reduces overhead while ensuring your IT needs are met with precision and expertise.
As your firm grows, your IT infrastructure should grow with it. Managed IT services provide the flexibility to scale resources up or down as needed. Whether you're hiring new employees, adopting additional case management software, or expanding to multiple offices, managed services ensure seamless transitions without the financial and logistical burden of upgrading in-house systems or hiring additional staff. This adaptability allows your firm to remain agile and focused on client service, no matter how your needs evolve.
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery
Managed IT services help your firm remain operational in the face of unexpected disruptions. With comprehensive disaster recovery solutions, your data is securely backed up and can be quickly restored in order to minimize downtime that ensures client information and case details are accessible and secure.
Common disasters that can disrupt business operations include:
- Natural Disasters: Floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, and wildfires can physically damage servers and on-site data storage.
- Power Outages: Sudden power loss can result in data corruption, system failures, and lost work progress.
- Cyberattacks: Ransomware, malware, and data breaches can compromise sensitive client information and paralyze operations.
- Hardware Failures: Equipment breakdowns, like server crashes or hard drive failures, can result in the loss of essential files.
- Human Error: Mistakes such as accidental file deletions or misconfigurations can disrupt access to critical data.
The goal is to have an IT management plan in place to minimize any disruption with data backups, rapid recovery protocols, employee training, and general emergency preparedness.
