Legal aid cybersecurity

Protect privileged client data without building an enterprise security team.

Secure Origin helps legal aid organizations review access, protect sensitive files, prepare funder-ready evidence, improve incident readiness, and remediate practical security gaps.

Common risks

Legal aid teams hold sensitive data in practical, messy systems.

Privileged client files

Case records, identity documents, evidence, intake notes, and legal communications need clear storage and access boundaries.

Shared access paths

Staff, volunteers, interns, contractors, clinics, and partner organizations can create access sprawl if reviews are informal.

Funder and board evidence

Grant reports and board questions increasingly require proof of data protection, recovery, and incident readiness.

What we help with

Focused security work sized for legal aid realities.

Access review

Review privileged accounts, shared folders, case systems, file storage, email, onboarding, offboarding, and partner access.

Data and recovery evidence

Map sensitive data locations, backup coverage, restore expectations, retention practices, and stakeholder-ready proof.

Remediation support

Turn findings into practical fixes across identity, cloud, file storage, logging, backup, vendor access, and incident workflows.

Engagement shape

From current-state review to defensible next steps.

Scope sensitive systems

Identify case systems, file stores, intake workflows, privileged data, users, vendors, and funder expectations.

Validate controls

Review access, MFA, backups, recovery, logging, file sharing, and incident response paths.

Prioritize fixes

Separate urgent client-data risk from lower-value cleanup, then assign owners and evidence needs.

Document evidence

Produce clear notes your team can use with funders, boards, auditors, partners, or internal leadership.
