Industry Expertise · Law Firms
Managed IT and cybersecurity for Kingston and Eastern Ontario law firms. We know PCLaw and the Dye & Durham suite, and build every environment around client confidentiality.
A single compromised email or leaked document can end a client relationship, or worse. Law firms are a top target for phishing, wire fraud and ransomware because attackers know how much a single mailbox can be worth.
Meanwhile, PIPEDA and Law Society of Ontario expectations keep evolving, insurance carriers ask harder questions every renewal, and your team needs to reach matters from court, home and client sites without opening up a back door.
We build IT systems around the way lawyers actually work. Secure remote access to PCLaw and the Dye & Durham suite, encrypted email, controlled document sharing, Canadian cloud backups and audit trails that hold up when insurance or the Law Society asks questions.
Flat monthly pricing with a 60-minute response SLA keeps your costs and your downtime predictable. A dedicated local team learns your practice areas and your workflows, and when something breaks in PCLaw or the Dye & Durham suite, we call the vendor's support on your behalf.
All of our services are handled by the same local Kingston team. No call centers or ticket queues.
