When IT Fails, Billable Hours Go With It
Firm administrators and COOs tell us the same three stories.
The filing-day lockout
It's 8:40 a.m. on a deadline day and a partner can't get into Outlook. Your IT provider says they'll "open a ticket."
The insurance questionnaire
Your cyber insurance renewal asks 40 security questions, and you aren't sure the honest answer to half of them is "yes."
The client security audit
A client's outside counsel guidelines arrive with a security questionnaire attached, and the deadline is two weeks out.
None of that is your team's fault. It's what happens when IT reacts after something breaks instead of preventing it.

Keep IT Simple & Secure: The KISS Framework
After 25 years supporting law firms, we've learned the safest systems are the ones your team can actually use. KISS is how we build them.
Knowledge
We know legal workflows: conflict checks, document management, e-filing and trust accounting. You never have to explain your practice to us.
Integrity
Client files stay confidential, backed up and recoverable, in line with ABA Model Rule 1.6. Your firm owns every admin account and all of its data.
Security
Zero-trust protection works quietly in the background, so attorneys aren't fighting their own logins to get work done.
Stability
Proactive monitoring catches problems overnight, before they turn into a Monday-morning outage.

Yes. eSudo is a Clio Certified Partner and supports the practice management and document systems law firms rely on, including Clio, NetDocuments and MyCase, along with Microsoft 365.
Can you help with cyber insurance and client security questionnaires?
Yes. We put the required controls in place, such as MFA, endpoint protection, email security and tested backups, and help you answer cyber insurance applications and outside counsel guideline (OCG) security questionnaires accurately.
Do you work with law firms outside California?
Yes. eSudo has offices in San Jose, San Francisco and Seattle and supports law firms across California and Washington. Our law firm cybersecurity program is available nationwide.
How does eSudo compare to Uptime Legal?
Both firms focus on legal IT. eSudo offers flat-rate plans, local offices in California and Washington, a live phone answer in about 2 minutes, and Safe Switch onboarding with a 90-day exit option.
Is our firm too small for managed IT and cybersecurity?
No. Firms with fewer than 50 people are frequent targets because they often lack internal security controls. eSudo's plans are built for law firms with 5 to 50 attorneys.
