Ready to strengthen your firm's cybersecurity?
Who Helmlight Is Designed For
Helmlight Consulting is designed specifically for solo attorneys and small law firms that need strong cybersecurity protections without enterprise complexity.
Not sure where to start?
Some firms need a clean technology baseline before cybersecurity work can be effective.
Helmlight Foundation provides a one-time, guided setup that establishes the core systems most firms rely on:
Domain ownership
Business email
Cloud file storage
This ensures your firm has a professional technology foundation in place before deeper security work begins.
After the session, you’ll receive a Foundation Setup Summary documenting what was completed and any recommended next steps.
What Helmlight Foundation Does Not Include
Helmlight Foundation does not include device hardening, security assessments, backups, MFA enforcement, policy creation, monitoring, or compliance validation.
Those services are provided through Helmlight Essentials or Helmlight Secure+.
How Helmlight Foundation Works
Submit the contact form to tell us about your firm and current setup.
We confirm fit, send your agreement packet, and provide the payment link.
After payment, we schedule a guided setup session and deliver your Foundation Setup Summary.
No obligation — we’ll confirm fit before moving forward.
Early Client Pricing (Limited Availability)
Helmlight Essentials is just $850 (normally $1,500) for the first three (3) solo attorneys or small law firms.
One-time engagement — no subscriptions or recurring services unless separately agreed.
🔐 No contracts. No long-term commitment — just one flat project fee.
Why Cybersecurity Matters
Even the smallest law firm holds sensitive data that hackers want. Hackers target law firms of every size — especially solo and small practices.
Law firms are prime targets for ransomware and data breaches because attackers know your files contain sensitive client information and valuable case data.
A single breach can mean lost clients, lost trust, and possible disciplinary action.
With the right safeguards, attorneys can protect confidential information, stay compliant with ABA cybersecurity guidance, and keep their practices running smoothly.
