Why Cybersecurity Matters for Your Practice

If your business handles client financial data, personal information, or legal records, you're a target. The FTC Safeguards Rule now requires non-banking financial institutions — including law firms, accounting practices, and financial advisors — to implement comprehensive information security programs. Non-compliance carries serious penalties.

Carl de Prado has presented on FTC Safeguards Rule compliance to the New York County Lawyers Association (NYCLA), the Westchester County Bar Association, and other professional organizations across New York. This isn't a side offering — cybersecurity compliance is a core specialization.
