Cybersecurity Made Simple: Built for Solo Attorneys and Small Law Firms

Protect client data. Protect your reputation. Meet your ethical duty under ABA Model Rules 1.1 and 1.6(c).

Most small firms don’t have the time or resources for a full-time IT team — but that doesn’t remove your obligation to safeguard client information or the risks of failing to do so.

Helmlight Consulting helps law firms strengthen cybersecurity, document compliance, and protect client trust without unnecessary complexity.

Built specifically to help solo and small law firms in North Carolina strengthen cybersecurity and meet ABA ethical obligations.

No sales pitch - just practical next steps for your firm.

Here’s how we help your firm stay secure — and compliant:

Every safeguard we recommend is built around the real-world challenges solo and small firms face — always focused on risk, ethics, and client trust.

🔐 Protecting Client Data — and Your Reputation: Secure email, file storage, and access controls to safeguard confidential documents, reduce breach risk, and maintain client trust.

📜 Meeting ABA Expectations — Without Guesswork: Practical safeguards aligned with Model Rules 1.1 and 1.6(c).

🧾 Reducing Liability — With Proof: Clear documentation that shows you took “reasonable steps” to safeguard information.

🧠 Simplifying Security — for Non-Technical Teams: Guidance, setup, and checklists designed for non-technical teams.

Together, these safeguards form a strong security foundation that protects sensitive data, supports ABA compliance, and builds client confidence — all without unnecessary complexity.

How Our Process Works — Simple, Clear, and Focused on Your Firm

Our 4-step approach is designed to be straightforward, transparent, and aligned with your firm’s legal and ethical responsibilities

1️⃣ Consultation – Understand Your Needs

We meet with you (by Zoom or in-person) to review your current setup, learn about your practice, and discuss your priorities.

2️⃣ Assessment – Identify Risks & Strengths

We pinpoint your firm’s biggest vulnerabilities, highlight what’s already working well, and explain how those risks relate to ABA compliance.

3️⃣ Implementation – Close Gaps and Strengthen Defenses

We guide you through practical steps to fix vulnerabilities, improve safeguards, and ensure your firm meets its ethical and compliance obligations.

4️⃣ Documentation – Show Your Due Diligence

You receive a clear, plain-English report showing the safeguards in place — evidence of “reasonable steps” that you can rely on if questions ever arise.

Our approach is designed to be straightforward and transparent — so you always know exactly what’s happening, why it matters, and how it protects your practice.
