STS has always endeavored to take an ethical and responsible approach to its business and pass this along to its clients, assuring them their valuable and confidential content is protected at the highest of levels.
“If we are not doing it at a high level, why should our clients?” explained
STS removes the “assumption” based aspect of understanding risk and outlines a clear picture and of what level of risk and exposure exists and how that risk would impact its clients’ law firms.
Security Risk
According to the
Third-party vendor risk is a very real concern and understanding the vendors you’re working with is a critical aspect of a cybersecurity discipline. Law firms that are investing in securing their IT environment and mitigating risk to reduce the chances of exposure, should also be investigating the security of the third-party vendors to ensure they are doing the same.
If an IT vendor doesn’t have strong IT security controls in place, the law firm that is a client of theirs becomes an easy target through a supply-chain attack (where an attack of a vendor or supplier causes a breach for their clients).
"STS, and the MSP industry, are not required to be cybersecurity certified. No agency or organization holds MSPs to any type of standard (scary) currently. We believe it is the right thing to do!”
One of the early innovators within the managed IT services industry, STS began positioning the SMLA (Security Maturity Level Assessment) process, methodology, and approach early on as part of its sales and onboarding process. Very few, if any, especially those focused on the legal vertical, are doing this, in the company’s estimation.
Stringent Certification Process
The SSAE-21 SOC 2 Type II certification process is a grueling investment in time, resources, and money. However, obtaining this certification is critically important to the team at STS in proving its commitment to protecting its own and its clients’ sensitive information.

“We eat our own dog food,” stated
Having experienced this process and achieving this level of certification over the last several years and being specialized and experienced, not only within the world of cybersecurity but also in the legal industry, provides STS with a sharp focus on helping its clients protect “their house.”
Security has generally been an afterthought within law firms. With STS, it is the basis for the foundation. The IT provider’s approach to cybersecurity outlines its client’s current cybersecurity maturity level, where the risks lie, the baseline, and how it can build from there. Its methods are backed with tangible evidence driven by the (
