Cybersecurity and operational technology support for small law firms
Helmlight provides fixed-scope, one-time cybersecurity and technology services for solo attorneys and small law firms in North Carolina.
We help firms:
protect client data
improve operational reliability
meet ethical obligations
reduce technology friction
Every package follows ABA cybersecurity guidance, including Model Rules 1.1, 1.6(c), and Formal Opinion 477R.
No subscriptions. No long-term contracts. Just practical support designed for smaller law firms.
Start at the Right Place
Not every firm is ready for cybersecurity protections on day one — and that’s okay.
Many solo and small law firms first need clarity around:
domain ownership
business email
cloud storage
administrative accounts
account recovery and access control
That’s why Helmlight offers Helmlight Foundation, a one-time setup service focused on establishing a stable and independently controlled technology foundation.
Once that foundation is in place, firms can move forward with:
Helmlight Essentials for core cybersecurity protections
Helmlight Secure+ for deeper safeguards around regulated or highly sensitive client data
Foundation establishes ownership and control. Essentials implements practical protections. Secure+ adds deeper safeguards where additional protection is needed.
For firms that need hands-on technical work outside package engagements, Helmlight also offers After-Hours Support & Upgrade Services — practical remote or on-site assistance scheduled outside normal business hours whenever possible.
From system upgrades to Wi-Fi troubleshooting, account recovery, VPN setup, MFA assistance, and operational technology support, these projects help law firms stay productive while reducing disruption to the workday.
