The charges against your firm’s IT
Four defendants. One verdict. Here’s the case.
Count I
Hackers
The charge
Targeting firms that hold everyone else’s secrets.
The evidence
Deal terms, case strategy and client financials live in your inbox, and trust accounts make wire fraud worth the effort.
The remedy
Proactive monitoring, email protection and staff training, so threats are stopped before they reach a client file.
Count II
Compliance Gaps
The charge
Leaving the firm exposed under rules it already has to follow.
The evidence
Ethics rules, cyber insurers and corporate clients all expect proof that client data is protected. See Exhibit B.
The remedy
Security controls and documentation built in from day one, so you have answers ready when someone asks.
Count III
Wasted IT Spend
The charge
Draining the budget one surprise at a time.
The evidence
Emergency repair bills, software licenses nobody uses, and attorney hours lost to downtime. Calculate yours in Exhibit D.
The remedy
A predictable monthly cost, and a team that spots waste before you pay for it.
Count IV
Tech Guesswork
The charge
Making expensive decisions without expert input.
The evidence
New software, a new hire’s laptop, the latest AI tool. Who do you ask before you buy?
The remedy
A team that has already solved these problems for other firms, so you get a straight answer instead of a sales pitch.
EXHIBITBUV&S TECH
The ABA already made our argument
Cybersecurity at a law firm isn’t just good practice. It’s part of the professional duties you already carry.
Model Rule 1.1, Comment 8
Competence includes technology. Lawyers are expected to keep up with the benefits and risks of the technology they use in practice.
Model Rule 1.6(c)
Reasonable efforts to protect client information. Firms must take reasonable steps to prevent unauthorized access to, or disclosure of, information relating to a representation.
Model Rule 5.3
Your vendors are your responsibility. When outside providers touch client data, you’re expected to make reasonable efforts to ensure their conduct fits your obligations. Choose your IT partner like you’d choose co-counsel.
ABA Formal Opinions 477R & 483
Secure communication and breach response. Guidance on protecting electronic client communications, and on what lawyers owe clients if a breach happens.
Your state’s version of these rules is what governs your practice. You knew that, of course. This page is a conversation starter, not legal advice.

Cross-examination
Things we hear from firms all the time. Tap to hear the court’s ruling.
We’re too small to be a target.
OVERRULED
Small firms are often the preferred target. Less security, same valuable data, and most attacks are automated anyway. Nobody is picking you by name.
Our files are in the cloud, so they’re backed up.
OVERRULED
Sync isn’t backup. If ransomware encrypts a file on your laptop, the cloud happily syncs the encrypted version too. You need separate, tested backups.
We have MFA, so we’re covered.
OVERRULED
MFA is essential, but modern phishing kits can steal your login session right after you approve it. MFA is the lock. You still need someone watching the door.
We already have an IT person.
AMENDED
Great IT people are worth keeping. With co-managed IT, we work alongside yours so they never have to handle it alone. See who does what.
Switching IT providers sounds disruptive.
SUSTAINED, IN PART
A bad transition is disruptive. That’s why ours follows a set onboarding plan, with your current setup documented before anything changes.
We’re the technology division of UV&S, a family-owned Kansas company. No two firms need the same thing, so we don’t sell one-size-fits-all plans. Choose the arrangement that fits, and we’ll tailor the details to your team.
Managed IT
Full Representation
For firms without in-house IT.
We become your IT department: help desk, monitoring, patching, backups, security, Microsoft 365 and vendor management, all for one predictable monthly fee.
You call one number. We handle the rest.
Co-Managed IT
Co-Counsel
For firms with an IT team.
We work alongside them with enterprise security tools, 24/7 monitoring, after-hours and vacation coverage, and extra hands for projects and audits.
They stay lead counsel. We make sure they never argue the case alone.
Need something narrower? We also take limited-scope engagements, like security only, backups only or a single project.
Stipulation of responsibilities
Co-managed IT, drafted to fit your firm. The parties stipulate as follows (a typical starting point):
Your IT person
Day-to-day user support and firm relationships
Practice management software and local know-how
Final say on priorities
Escalations to UV&S whenever they need backup
UV&S
24/7 security monitoring and response
Patching, backups and backup testing
After-hours, vacation and sick-day coverage
Projects, audits and cyber insurance documentation
Terms are negotiable. Every firm’s split looks different. Some hand us the help desk so their IT person can focus on bigger projects. Others mainly want backup on nights, weekends and vacations. We’ll draft the arrangement around your team’s strengths and fill in only the gaps, and we can amend it as your firm grows.
From first file to final shred. Through our other divisions, UV&S also offers secure records storage, document shredding and NAID AAA certified hard drive destruction, with chain of custody and a Certificate of Destruction for every job. Drive destructionStorage and shredding

Witness testimony
Don’t take our word for it. Take it from a Wichita firm administrator.
Q. What has changed for your firm?
A. As a small to medium-sized firm, we wanted the expertise and representation of a big IT company, but with the personal touch of a family-oriented team we could work with year-round. With UV&S, we get the best of both worlds.

The oil and gas industry has come a long way since we first began storing geological maps in the early 1960’s. Core samples, well logs, seismic data tapes; we store it all for some of the biggest energy companies in the world. Oil and gas records are more like assets than records – tremendously valuable to exploration and production. Seismic maps are data intensive, requiring massive amounts of storage. UV&S offers three unique facilities for seismic data libraries, support data, business records, maps, and core samples. We offer same day retrieval, same day shipping, and a wholly-owned transportation fleet to meet your needs for fast, secure access.
Every year, news reports detail instances of natural disasters, substandard storage conditions, fire, theft and vandalism. Much of the nation’s collection of art and artifacts rots in humid basements or hot warehouses, waiting for a pipe to burst. Entire collections of art, artifacts, and documents are lost or damaged. For more than 50 years, national museums and private collectors alike have trusted UV&S for the protection of their cultural treasures. Our natural underground atmosphere keeps your items cool and dry and bar-coding and inventory technology ensure constant tracking.
At UV&S, we have more than 50 years experience storing and managing vital medical records. From patient records and data tapes to oversized x-rays and more, you can relax knowing your records are safe from the elements, filed away for easy retrieval and secure in our vault 650 feet underground. Off-site healthcare records storage offers additional efficiencies, enhanced security, and eased HIPAA compliance. Reduce storage costs, boost compliance, protect patient information and prevent electronic records loss with UV&S. We help you manage your records throughout their complete lifecycle. From the time we take possession of the files at your practice until their eventual destruction, your files never leave our possession — no third party transportation companies, no sending them through the mail. We handle legal and industry specific compliance concerns and you maintain 24/7 access with digital file transfer and a dedicated transportation fleet.
Your business is to hedge against potential future loss. Our job is to protect your records and data from loss due to natural disaster, man-made disaster, theft and improper storage conditions. Insurance companies understandably generate a large volume of paper records and electronic data. Actuarial statistics and probability analysis are data intensive and must be preserved. Client contracts, riders, medical information, forms and payment information are subject to privacy concerns and industry legislation. They must be protected in a way that limits legal exposure and provides efficient access. UV&S can help you meet your insurance records storage and compliance needs.
Court records storage has become a specialty for UV&S. City, county, parish, state and federal departments and agencies from across the nation rely on UV&S for security, efficient records management, and preservation. Whether you are a County Clerk, a Register of Deeds, a Registrar of Voters, or a Chief Information Officer – we can help you balance the needs for compliance, public information access, and private information protection. Court clients include courthouses, district courts, probate courts, juvenile courts, public defender offices and district attorney offices. Court records stored at any of our facilities are as accessible as they would be in your own jurisdiction or district – they can be faxed, scanned and digitally transferred, shipped overnight, or transported by our wholly-owned fleet of vehicles. Clerks of Court from across the nation rely on us to provide economical and secure storage.
A familiar phrase within the film and television industry, Send it to the Salt Mine has come to stand for incomparably secure and remarkably affordable film and sound archiving. Going underground began decades ago. Film and television studios recognized that our uniquely cool and dry atmosphere, the distance from natural disaster and metropolitan exposure, and our location 58 floors below ground, were ideal for long term archiving of movie films. We eliminated high warehouse lease rates as well as reduced labor and utility costs. Our film vaults are void of anything that challenges asset protection at surface level, including seismic activity, fires, and intrusion. We are recognized as a leader in secure storage for the motion picture and entertainment industry and have multiple locations that offer climate controlled vaults, refrigerated storage, bonded inspection and cataloging services, same day retrieval, same day shipping, and refrigerated transportation services. UV&S is a proud member of the Association of Moving Image Archivists (AMIA).
Secure bank records management is essential to meeting your auditor and customer demands. Industry legislation, such as Gramm-Leach-Bliley ACT (GLB), the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) and the Fair and Accurate Credit and Transactions Act (FACTA), combined with government regulation and oversight, create the need for a rigorous bank records management program that addresses securing private information, storing records according to an acceptable retention schedule and destroying information that has passed its retention date. At UV&S, we have served Fortune 500 companies and small community banks alike, since 1959. Our experienced staff, secure facilities and time-tested procedures are ready to help you meet those demands.
Not all media vaults are the same. Is your data stored in a controlled, secure environment? We provide climate-controlled, high-security media vaults—both underground and above ground—to safeguard your data from theft, disasters, and tape degradation. Whether you need permanent tape storage or active rotations, our facilities ensure fast access and long-term protection.
