Technology is fundamental to business, so it is not a surprise that cyber-attacks, data breaches and unplanned IT outages remain the top threats to business according to research released by the BSI and the Business Continuity Institute.

Security and compliance. These two words probably can’t be stressed enough when it comes to your company’s records and sensitive data. As a business with thousands of paper and electronic records, you probably think about these every day.

•  Are our records secure?

•  >Which regulations do they even need to comply with?

These questions are common, and easily answerable.

Imagine a large organization with rows and rows of filing cabinets lining the walls. Now, imagine a small HR department trying to manage all these employee documents while also responding to frequent internal and external audit requests (often at the same time). Sounds exhausting, right?

You have heard it many times: failure to plan means planning to fail. Depositions sometimes offer a poignant example of this maxim. Many lawyers schedule a deposition and do nothing more than notify their client of when and where to appear. Others give short shrift to the preparation process, advising the client to arrive 30 minutes early on the day of the deposition. Minimizing the importance of deposition preparation adds to your client’s nervousness. It can significantly impact the outcome of the case.
