A major law firm, despite investing in extensive EDR and best-in-breed security technologies, needed to validate the security of its critical document management system.
The Chaleit team implemented a rapid transformation of their document protection approach, with significant business impact.
The challenge
Despite substantial investments in security infrastructure, the firm needed to ensure its document management system — the crown jewel of any law firm — was truly secure against sophisticated threats targeting its sector.
Key issues included:
Uncertainty about document management system security
Reliance on standard EDR protection
Need to validate existing security controls
Industry-specific threat concerns
The solution
Chaleit implemented a targeted approach:
Modelled specific tools and tactics used against law firms in their sector
Identified creative bypass techniques for EDR systems
Demonstrated access to the complete document management system
Worked collaboratively to rearchitect their security approach
Rather than simply identifying issues, we partnered with the firm to rapidly implement structural improvements to their security architecture.
The outcome and aftermath
Within just seven days, the engagement yielded significant improvements:
Secured critical document management systems
Improved EDR protection mechanisms
Implemented sector-specific security controls
Established stronger architectural foundations
The rapid transformation demonstrated how focused expertise and collaborative effort can quickly elevate security posture, even in highly regulated environments.
Key takeaways
Industry-specific threat modelling reveals hidden vulnerabilities.
Standard security tools may not protect against creative attack methods.
Rapid transformation is possible with the right expertise and focus.
Understanding sector-specific threats is crucial for effective security.
The engagement demonstrates how targeted security improvements, even within a compressed timeframe, can significantly enhance the protection of critical assets.
