Managed IT and cyber security for Australian legal practices. Hosted in Australia. Sensitive data stays onshore.
Conveyancing, estates and commercial work put client money and identity documents through email every day. That makes a practice worth more to an attacker than its size suggests, and the profession’s confidentiality duties do not pause for a breach.
Hi, our bank has asked us to move all settlements to a new trust account effective today.
Please use BSB 063-019 and update your file before Thursday. Phone lines are down, so email is best.
Illustration. Names, domain and BSB are made up.
A lookalike or compromised mailbox changes bank details days before settlement. The money is gone before anyone rings.
Passports, licences and statements sent for verification sit in sent items and OneDrive for years, long after the matter closes.
Without enforced MFA and monitoring, a single phished login gives an attacker your whole correspondence history.
Practice management and e-signing tools connected to Microsoft 365 with broad permissions, granted once and never checked again.
Not new frameworks. Named obligations that touch how your practice handles client data and client money.
AML/CTF Tranche 2 is live. Lawyers providing designated services, such as conveyancing, trust and company structures and handling client money, are now AUSTRAC reporting entities: enrolment, an AML/CTF program, customer due diligence and suspicious matter reporting. Onboarding and CDD records have to live in your systems, not in someone’s inbox.
What Tranche 2 means for your workflows →
Privacy Act transparency. Privacy policies must describe decisions that software makes, or substantially helps make, using personal information. Practices doing employment, family, immigration or consumer work should check theirs.
Confidentiality and supervision. Solicitor conduct rules on confidentiality, competence and supervision apply to how client information is stored, shared and secured, including by junior staff and contractors.
Insurers ask harder questions. PI and cyber insurers increasingly ask about MFA, backups and email security. A documented, evidenced answer is easier to give than a promise.
Start small with an audit, or hand us the lot. Either way you know the price before we start.
Helpdesk, Microsoft 365 and security, run properly.
Published products, each priced on its own.
Low-commitment first steps.
All prices ex GST. Anything outside the standard stack is quoted upfront, before work starts.
Data that needs to stay in Australia stays here, in your Microsoft 365 tenant or our Australian Azure. Where a project genuinely benefits from a more capable overseas model, we use it only for data that is allowed to leave, with your sign-off.
Automations that handle client PII, ID, TFNs or financial data run on Australian-hosted solutions only. Rules and Microsoft-native tools first.
You know the cost before we start. Anything outside the standard stack is quoted upfront.
Built and managed by a cyber security MSP looking after Australian businesses since 2017, not a generic IT shop.
Yes. We manage the Microsoft 365 environment it connects to, review the permissions it has been granted, and keep it working through updates. Integrations outside Microsoft 365 are scoped and quoted upfront.
Yes. Every Practice Automation product stands alone with a published price: the Settlement & Payment Guard is $1,950 setup and $95 a month, ex GST. Trust account workflows differ from firm to firm, so we confirm the call-back rules with you in the practice review before anything is installed.
In your own Microsoft 365 tenant or our Australian Azure. Automations that handle sensitive data run on Australian-hosted solutions only.
The products cover the jobs most practices share. Your business has its own. Tell us the job that eats your team’s week and we’ll scope a custom automation inside your Microsoft 365, quoted at a fixed price before we start.
Thirty minutes to map your systems and find the gaps that matter. If nothing needs doing, we will tell you that.
