Why Law Firms Choose Helmlight Consulting

Helmlight delivers fixed-scope, one-time cybersecurity services designed specifically for solo attorneys and small law firms in North Carolina — helping you protect client data, meet ethical obligations, and gain confidence in your technology.

Every package follows ABA cybersecurity guidance (Model Rules 1.1, 1.6(c), and Formal Opinion 477R), so your safeguards align with your professional responsibilities. 

No subscriptions. No long-term contracts. Just practical security done right.

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 basic technology ownership and access, such as who controls their domain, business email, cloud storage, and administrative accounts.

That’s why Helmlight offers Helmlight Foundation, a one-time setup service establishing a clean, independent technology baseline. Once that baseline is in place, firms are ready to move forward with cybersecurity protections through Helmlight Essentials, or deeper safeguards with Helmlight Secure+.

Foundation establishes ownership and control. Essentials implements core cybersecurity protections. Secure+ adds deeper safeguards for regulated or highly sensitive client data. 

For firms that need hands-on technical work outside of package engagements, Helmlight also offers After-Hours Support & Upgrade Services — practical, on-site or remote assistance performed outside business hours. From system upgrades to network tuning, these projects help law firms work faster, stay secure, and protect billable time.
