Array Case Studies

 In this case study, learn how we helped a US law firm maintain exceptional security for their end client’s sensitive case data, despite all three parties being based in different continents.

The Challenge

A mid-tier law firm and long-term client of ours at Altlaw was in possession of an end client data set which was considered commercially sensitive. Despite being primarily based in the US, the law firm had offices in Central London.

The law firm’s client had a requirement to keep the case data in question under tight control – specifically what they wanted was to have their case data hosted in a secure colocation or “carrier hotel”, but they were based outside of the EU, and did not have any suitable premises of their own in the UK.

The Solution

The decision was made to implement an on-premise system at the law firm’s UK offices – we helped by providing servers and storage devices to be installed at their headquarters in London.

Working in conjunction with the IT team, Altlaw undertook a detailed survey of their existing infrastructure, before purchasing equipment that would seamlessly integrate with their existing hardware.  

 Altlaw then installed a  behind the law firm’s firewall and created a closed network for the review to be hosted on. This meant that there was no way of accessing the system without physically being present at their Central London offices.
