eDiscovery technology partnerships should never be the product of convenience or trend; and at Proteus, they are not. The Operations team evaluates every potential platform with the same disciplined rigor our clients apply to their litigation strategies. Any addition to the Proteus ecosystem must offer long-term fit, strategic alignment, and clear value to our clients.

In the legal industry, trust extends to every partner, platform, and provider in your litigation ecosystem. As law firms handle more confidential client data, robust internal controls are crucial, and the security of third-party vendors is equally essential to maintaining data integrity and confidentiality.

Data breaches and cyber threats remain a constant concern, particularly for legal services companies, where the stakes are exceptionally high. Lawyers are entrusted with handling their clients’ most sensitive information, such as confidential communications, financial records, and intellectual property, making data security an imperative priority.

This week, Proteus is pleased to announce a significant milestone: we have successfully achieved SOC 2® Type 1 compliance. This accomplishment underscores our ongoing commitment to data security and the protection of client information. The attestation is the result of extensive effort and collaboration across our organization. In this blog post, I will provide further insight into SOC 2 compliance and discuss what it entails from the perspective of an eDiscovery service provider. 

Corporate legal teams often face significant financial challenges, particularly when preparing for litigation. One of the most pressing issues is the concept of “sunk costs” associated with eDiscovery.
