Secure, simple, proven, IT support for law firms that protects privilege and keeps matters moving
IT Support For Law Firms, The Clear Path To Confidential, Productive, Audit Ready Practice
By Peter Noble, Founder, Noble Technology Group
What Reliable IT Support For Law Firms Really Delivers
Support should feel predictable, respectful, and fast. It should protect privilege without slowing people down. It should reduce the number of decisions your attorneys must make to do the right thing.
Outcomes You Can Count On
- Secure access from anywhere, with multi factor prompts that are quick and reliable, device compliance checks that happen quietly, and conditional access that blocks risky sign ins.
- Matter centric document control, with simple libraries and labels that match how you work, version history that prevents confusion, and permissions that reflect who is on the matter.
- Email that protects privilege by default, with automatic encryption on defined triggers, external recipient warnings, and data loss prevention rules that catch mistakes before they leave the building.
- Backups that are proven in practice, with routine restore tests and clear reporting on time to recover.
- Rapid response that respects billable time, with real people who answer and resolve issues quickly, and on site help when hands on speed is the right move.
Clients describe the feeling better than I can. A simple line says it all, Lisa is outstanding, they do a great job. That everyday result comes from a team that knows your environment, respects your time, and solves issues without drama.

Legal Specific Technology, Simple And Secure
You do not need a complicated stack. You need a stack that fits your practice and your people, that enforces good habits, and that gives you receipts for IT compliance services.
Identity, Access, And Devices
- Centralize identity with Microsoft Entra ID.
- Require multi factor authentication for everyone.
- Use conditional access and device compliance rules so only healthy devices sign in.
- Separate standard user and admin accounts with privileged identity management for elevated access.
- Place shared credentials inside a password manager with logging.
Microsoft 365 For Law Firms, Productivity That Protects Privilege
- Organize Teams and SharePoint around practice groups and matters.
- Use private channels for privileged work and expert collaboration.
- Enable sensitivity labels and retention labels to classify content.
- Create automatic labeling rules for common triggers such as financial data or personal health data.
- Keep guest access tightly scoped with expiration dates on shared links.
Document Management For Legal Teams
If you use NetDocuments or iManage, integrate identity and retention with Microsoft 365. If you use SharePoint as your DMS, invest in a matter centric library design with metadata that mirrors how your attorneys think. Use consistent naming, use short, clear folder templates, and limit broad access. These small, careful choices reduce version chaos and search fatigue.
Email Security For Attorneys
- Turn on SPF, DKIM, and DMARC with reject.
- Use safe links and safe attachments.
- Encrypt on defined rules and sender groups.
- Add a visible external banner.
- Give people a one click method to report suspicious messages and respond with fast, calm guidance.
Place a hold in minutes, verify behavior with a quick test, keep clear evidence for clients and carriers
Legal Hold And eDiscovery In Microsoft 365
Use Microsoft Purview to set retention, to place content on hold, and to preserve evidence. Build a short, visual runbook that your office administrator can follow without calling a technician. Test holds and recoveries so you know what to expect when a request arrives. These daily habits make legal hold and eDiscovery in Microsoft 365 plain and predictable.
E Signature And Client Intake
Choose an e signature platform with templates for retainer agreements and intake forms. Connect it to your DMS so signed documents land in the correct matter location automatically. Keep the client path simple and consistent.
Ransomware Protection For Law Firms, Human And Technical Together
Security is a human story first. Short, frequent, practical training beats long, annual lectures. Teach people to pause and report. Use realistic simulations. Reward the right next step. If you want the exact playbook we use,
Ethics And The Practical Side Of Compliance
You do not need more jargon. You need clear answers that flow directly from professional responsibility.
- Can we prove who has access to client files, and can we limit that access to the people assigned to the matter.
- Can we prove that sensitive email is protected in transit and at rest.
- Can we put a matter on legal hold now, and test that hold without waiting for a crisis.
- Can we recover a partner laptop that is lost or stolen, preserve data for hold, and revoke access in minutes.
- Can we show that backups are complete and that we can restore a mailbox or library within a reasonable time.
- Can we satisfy cyber insurance requirements for law firms without a last minute scramble.
Our IT compliance services answer these questions with receipts that are easy to read. We maintain evidence binders and monthly reports so you can show a client or a carrier exactly how your controls behave.
Client Proof, Fast Recovery, Fast Help, Steady Care
Rapid Recovery After A Disaster
A multi location company lost its headquarters to a fire. All core systems were there. They were back up the very next day. The reason was simple, offsite backups, tested recovery, a team that moves calmly through a crisis. If your matter system and email are not ready for an orderly recovery, you are one event away from missed deadlines.
Seconds To Resolution When Seconds Matter
A public note reads, I was locked out of my computer for a while, I called Lisa who had this thing up and running within seconds of answering the phone. That is what good support feels like, fast, respectful, and quiet.
On Site Help When Hands On Speed Is The Best Path
Another client said we are always available and that in person visits make life easier. When a scanner stops delivering to your matter library the morning of a filing, the right next step is simple, show up and fix it.
Great Service Over Years, Not Weeks
A long term client wrote, I have been working with these amazing folks for about three years now, they provide amazing customer service. That is the standard we hold, steady excellence, year after year.

The Noble Blueprint, A Practical Plan For Small And Mid Sized Firms
You can stabilize your environment within ninety days without blowing up your calendar. Here is the order of operations we use to deliver IT support and services that you can feel by week two.
Stabilize Identity And Access
Enable multi factor authentication for everyone. Enforce device compliance and conditional access. Move shared passwords to named permissions. Document a one page procedure for lost phones and departures. This is the base for everything else.
Rationalize Document Structure
Adopt a standard matter template, intake, working drafts, correspondence, discovery, exhibits, and final deliveries. Use short names. Turn on versioning. Use small membership groups for each matter. Build a clean guest sharing policy with expirations.
Set Protective Email Defaults
Encrypt messages that match simple triggers. Add external banners. Add a warning for lookalike domains. Make reporting suspicious messages a one click path to help.
Short, Frequent Training That Respects Billable Time
Hold a twenty minute monthly huddle. Use real examples from your inbox. Confirm the right step in front of the team. Send a two minute recap video. Celebrate good catches. This rhythm keeps people alert without exhausting them.
Test Backups Like A Skeptic
Restore a mailbox and a SharePoint library every month. Measure time to recover. Record what improved. You will sleep better and you will have receipts for clients and carriers.
Prepare For Legal Hold And eDiscovery
Write a step by step runbook. Test it quarterly. Add the trigger and release steps to your matter close checklist. The first time you use a hold should not be under stress.
Plan Hardware Lifecycles And Loaners
Keep primary devices under four years old. Keep loaners ready. Document who approves and where to get one. This turns a bad morning into a small detour.
Align Cyber Insurance With Reality
Ask for the latest carrier control checklist and map it to your stack. This keeps you honest and avoids renewal scrambles. We incorporate this mapping in every engagement because it saves time and money at renewal. Book a consult
Microsoft 365 For Law Firms, The Pieces That Matter
Matter centric folders with clear labels, simple names, and version history for clean collaboration
SharePoint Document Management For Legal
Design libraries around your matters with metadata for client, matter number, practice area, and status. Turn on retention and versioning. Use labeled private channels for sensitive work. This gives you clean search, predictable access, and a natural place to place legal holds.
Teams Private Channels For Legal Matters
Use private channels for privileged sub teams. Keep discovery and expert communications cleanly separated. Limit membership changes to a small administrator group and record each change as part of matter hygiene.
Microsoft Purview For Legal Hold And Retention
Define retention policies by practice type. Use proof driven labels. Test a hold by restoring a mailbox to a discovery location and record the steps. This gives you confidence and saves time when a request arrives.
NetDocuments Or iManage Integration With Outlook And Teams
If you use a dedicated DMS, integrate with Outlook to file messages and attachments directly to the matter. Use Teams as a wrapper for chat and meetings with the DMS as the authoritative store. This brings the best of both worlds without duplicating work.

Business Continuity For Legal Practices
Backup And Recovery For Law Firms
Use immutable backups and a separate recovery path. Test restores monthly. Record time to recover and permissions behavior. Keep at least one spare workstation per ten staff ready to go with your standard image. This is quiet insurance against a bad day.
Disaster Recovery Plan For Legal Practices
Document the short list, who declares, who communicates, where to stand up core services, and what the first ten actions are. Rehearse twice a year with a simple tabletop. Produce two artifacts each time, a list of decisions made and a list of improvements. This discipline turns a worst day into a manageable day.
Same Day Workstation Replacement Process
Keep two loaners built and ready. Store them where an office administrator can hand them out. Use sign in prompts and cloud profiles so people are productive in minutes.
