IT Services Built for Law Firms

Your clients trust you with their most sensitive information. Attorney-client privilege isn't just an ethical obligation — it's a data security obligation.

In an era of sophisticated phishing attacks, ransomware targeting professional services firms, and evolving bar association technology requirements, the stakes have never been higher for law firms.

eTop Technology provides managed IT and cybersecurity services specifically designed for the needs of law firms in the Inland Empire.

Why Law Firms Need Specialized IT

Law firms aren’t like other businesses when it comes to IT. You deal with:

Ethical obligations around client data protection that go beyond what most industries face. State bar associations increasingly require attorneys to understand and implement reasonable security measures for client data.

Document-intensive workflows that demand reliable storage, version control, and secure collaboration — often with outside counsel, expert witnesses, and clients.

High-value targets for cybercriminals. Law firms hold sensitive financial data, intellectual property, M&A details, and personal information that commands premium prices on the dark web.

Compliance requirements that vary by practice area — healthcare law firms handling PHI need HIPAA compliance, firms handling financial data need FTC Safeguards awareness, and all firms need to meet state bar technology competence requirements.

Protecting Attorney-Client Privilege in the Digital Age

Attorney-client privilege is only as strong as the systems protecting client communications. If your email can be intercepted, your file sharing is unsecured, or a stolen laptop can access your entire case management system, privilege is at risk.

We build law firm IT environments with privilege protection as a core design principle — encryption in transit and at rest, conditional access policies, device management, and data loss prevention controls that ensure client information stays protected.
