delivery of backup tape media and enables rapid recovery from disruption.
Implement Information Governance Now
The long term challenge that ideally is addressed while these changes are
occurring is governance over all this data: new data types, cloud versus on-
premise, and other challenges need the right architecture up front and a roadmap
to facilitate healthy governance and ease of access for end-users. Firms must
keep compliance issues front and center. The challenges of protecting private
or sensitive information in the era of GDPR and CCPA hasn't disappeared.
Businesses will still be fined or worse for improper use of personally identifiable
or sensitive data. Lawyers and staff storing documents outside of a document
management system and other designated business systems expose the firm to
multiple layers of risk—and these habits may have a greater risk of occurrence
in a home office setting with unfamiliar workflows.
These are the challenges we face now. It would be unwise to write an article
today (in late March) slated for publication much later that portends to offer the
"answer." What is undeniable is the resilience of law firms and the professionals
who staff them as they rise to these challenges—and with these changes come
great opportunities. ILTA
