Today, if you’re on LegalKEY, you’re paying annual support and not getting anything in return. Plus, getting an unauthorized browser overlay will cost you money to run the same feature set on a 1990’s database architecture.

Are your retention schedules currently tracked in an Excel spreadsheet?

Failure to implement effective information governance exposes firms to security, litigation and compliance risks, not to mention the reputational risks associated with data breaches or other violations of regulatory rules.
Now, with more employees than ever working remotely, firms are also contending with new questions: Is it OK for employees to print client matter documents at home? And perhaps more urgently, are employees and clients using Microsoft Teams to collaborate in compliance with firm and client policies?
With so many people working from home due to the global health crisis, IT, security and information governance teams are reevaluating ways to ensure that employees (and contractors) are following best practices in information handling. Many organizations have updated their information governance policies and delivered additional training to remote staff, and are implementing new systems to support more digital ways of working while enhancing security.
