The Challenge
Maslon LLP faced multiple challenges in maintaining the confidentiality and integrity of client information while balancing user productivity and information security. The firm needed to satisfy client security requirements around data, internal assessments, and reviews, and meet increasing demands within an existing IT organizational structure. Additionally, Maslon had to adhere to client compliance regimes as part of the business relationship, including HIPAA requirements for some clients. The firm also needed to address client risk management concerns and optimize its security posture without the prohibitive costs of staffing and managing an in-house SIEM system.
