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.
