Client confidentiality isn’t just good practice — it’s a Model Rule obligation. ArcLight Group provides IT and cybersecurity services for Tulsa-area law firms that take that seriously: from solo practices to 50-attorney firms handling sensitive civil, criminal, and corporate matters.
Built for the way law firms actually work
- Practice management support — Clio, MyCase, NetDocuments, iManage, Worldox, and Time Matters. We know the platforms your firm actually uses.
- Document and email security — encrypted email, secure client portals, and archiving that satisfies discovery and ethics obligations.
- Ethical wall configurations — conflicts-of-interest access controls baked into your file server and practice management system.
- Billable-time protection — our ~15-minute response target means an attorney isn’t losing a half day because Outlook won’t sync.
- Cyber-insurance-ready controls — MFA everywhere, EDR on every endpoint, tested backups, and a written incident response plan. The same controls insurers are now requiring on renewal.
ABA Model Rule 1.6(c) — our approach
Rule 1.6(c) requires attorneys to make “reasonable efforts to prevent the inadvertent or unauthorized disclosure of” client information. We translate that into concrete, auditable controls:
- Enforced multi-factor authentication on every email, VPN, and practice-management login.
- Endpoint encryption on laptops and tablets.
- Tested, immutable backups of client matters — so a ransomware event doesn’t become a malpractice event.
- Documented access reviews for paralegals, support staff, and outside counsel.
- Written incident response plan — who to call, when to notify clients, and how to meet the Oklahoma data breach statute.
How we work with law firms
1. 27-point confidential assessment
A certified engineer reviews your network, endpoints, cloud apps, backups, and access controls. You get a written gap report you can put in front of your managing partner — or your insurer.
2. Prioritized roadmap
We lay out what to fix now (ethics / insurance risk), what to fix next quarter (cost efficiency), and what can wait.
3. Ongoing managed service
Monthly flat-rate IT and cybersecurity with help desk access, after-hours support for trial prep, and a quarterly business review with the managing partner.
Our Tulsa office understands Oklahoma courts, deadline-driven work, and what “privileged” really means. If you’ve been told “a managed IT company is too risky for a law firm,” you’ve been talking to the wrong ones.
