The risks of compromised data security for businesses 

Non-compliance and compromised data security represent some of the most significant long-term risks facing legal teams today. These areas have changed so dramatically that the effective handling of electronically stored information (ESI) is more challenging and more urgent than ever. 

The increase in remote and hybrid working arrangements has created several operational problems, many of which businesses and organisations are still struggling to overcome. 

To make matters worse, regulations around data handling continue to grow more complex. This has resulted in mounting pressure to level up how legal partners manage data for their clients and firms.
