Your Security is Our Priority
As a lawyer, maintaining client and staff confidentiality is a top priority. At LawPay, we understand concerns about data security and are committed to protecting your information and answering any questions you may have.
What Is Cloud Computing?
Cloud computing allows you to store and access data online rather than on physical servers. In other words, your data lives on servers owned and maintained by a third party. This way, your law firm can access files from anywhere, at any time, with an internet connection. Some examples of popular cloud storage tools include Google Drive and online bank accounts.
Cloud computing comes with several benefits, including:
- Affordability: Avoids the expense of in-house IT and onsite servers
- Convenience and Mobility: Access case files anytime, anywhere
- Security: Protects data better than physical paperwork
How LawPay Protects Your Data
LawPay operates on Amazon Web Services (AWS), a trusted platform used by major companies and government organizations. AWS employs strict physical security measures, ensuring data integrity. Additionally, LawPay enforces network restrictions and encrypts confidential information during transmissions to external partners and payment providers.
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) Compliance
LawPay undergoes regular independent audits to ensure Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance. Our security teams conduct routine internal and external scans to protect against vulnerabilities, and we continually monitor emerging threats to keep our platform secure.
Military-Grade Encryption
LawPay encrypts data transmissions using 256-bit Transport Layer Security (TLS), which is the same security standard used in banking and healthcare.
Multi-Factor Authentication
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of security, requiring users to verify their identity with a one-time code sent to a registered device before accessing an account. This reduces the risk of unauthorized access.
Other Security Features
In addition to the security measures we’ve already mentioned, LawPay has other features and safeguards in place to protect your account. These precautions include:
- Built-in PCI compliance to meet ABA regulations
- Session tracking to detect suspicious activity
- Automatic logout after inactivity or multiple logins
- Customizable Payment Pages and a Card Vault that prevent manual requests and secure payment processing
- Different permission settings and access controls to manage users
Tips to Maximize Your Cybersecurity
One of the most common causes of data loss is human error. Here are a few simple tips and tricks you can use to decrease the likelihood of your account being compromised:
- Enable MFA for email security.
- Use unique passwords for all accounts.
- Never share your LawPay password with anyone else.
- Create strong passwords with at least 10 characters, special symbols, and numbers.
- If you suspect a security breach, contact us immediately.
