Request a Financial Services Assessment ProposalCybersecurity Assessments for Law Firms
Law firms hold some of the most sensitive data in any industry — client privileged communications, deal documents, litigation strategy, and personal information across every practice area. State bar ethics opinions increasingly require competent cybersecurity practices as a matter of professional responsibility. PTG delivers assessments built for the way law firms actually operate.
ABA Model Rule & State Bar Ethics Alignment
Assessment against ABA Model Rule 1.6(c) technological competence requirements and applicable state bar cybersecurity ethics opinions — including Formal Opinion 483 breach notification duties to affected clients.
Client Data & Matter Confidentiality
Review of how privileged client data is stored across your document management system, email, cloud storage, and departed-employee accounts — with attention to matter-level access controls and data segregation.
Email Security & Wire Fraud Controls
Assessment of business email compromise defenses — particularly for firms handling real estate closings, trust accounts, or litigation settlements where fraudulent wire redirects are the leading loss vector.
Client Security Questionnaire Readiness
Preparation for the security questionnaires large corporate clients now send to outside counsel — with documented controls, evidence artifacts, and a defensible security posture that wins engagements.

Confidentiality by Design
All engagements operate under confidentiality provisions appropriate for a law firm — no client-identifying data leaves your environment during assessment, and deliverables are structured so they can be shared with your malpractice carrier or referenced in RFP responses without exposing sensitive detail.
Request a Law Firm Assessment ProposalCybersecurity Assessments for Manufacturing
Manufacturers face a dual attack surface — traditional IT plus operational technology (OT) that keeps the plant running. Add customer-imposed cybersecurity requirements, defense supply-chain mandates, and the growing convergence of IT and OT networks, and the assessment scope is meaningfully different from any other industry. PTG delivers assessments built for that reality.
IT/OT Convergence Assessment
Review of the boundary between corporate IT and shop-floor OT networks — including PLCs, SCADA systems, HMIs, and industrial IoT — with a focus on segmentation, monitoring, and safe patching cadence.
CMMC & DFARS Readiness

Request an Education Assessment ProposalCybersecurity Questions
How often should my business conduct a security assessment?
We recommend a full IT Resilience Assessment at least annually, paired with quarterly vulnerability scans and continuous endpoint monitoring. Businesses in regulated industries (healthcare, finance) or those handling sensitive data should consider more frequent assessments. Additionally, any major infrastructure change should trigger a reassessment.
Is cybersecurity really necessary for a small business?
Absolutely. Small businesses are actually the most targeted by cybercriminals because they often have weaker defenses than large enterprises. According to the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, 43% of cyberattacks target small businesses, and the costs of a breach can be devastating — sometimes enough to shut a business down permanently.
What's the first step in improving our cybersecurity?
The first step is a IT Resilience Assessment — a structured review of your cyber posture, Zero Trust readiness, compliance gaps, and infrastructure health. This gives you a scored baseline and a prioritized roadmap so you know exactly what to fix first. From there, we typically start with the highest-risk items: email security, endpoint protection, and employee training.
How does employee security training work?
Our security awareness training program includes regular online training modules, simulated phishing campaigns, and quarterly security updates. Employees learn to identify phishing emails, practice safe password habits, understand social engineering tactics, and follow data handling best practices. We track progress and provide reports on organizational security awareness levels.
What happens if we experience a cyberattack?
If you're a PTG client, our incident response team activates immediately. We contain the threat, assess the damage, begin recovery procedures, and work to restore operations as quickly as possible. We also conduct a thorough investigation to understand how the breach occurred and implement measures to prevent recurrence. We maintain business continuity plans and backup systems specifically for these scenarios.
