Cloud migration done. Security work? Just getting started.
Most law firms complete their migration and move on. But post-migration is when misconfigured permissions, stale credentials, and open external shares tend to surface.

Q3 is almost over. If your team adopted AI tools this year, this is the moment to ask: what's actually running, who owns it, and is it delivering results?

We wrote up the questions worth asking before your budget conversations lock in.

Cloud migration is straightforward for most businesses. For accounting firms, the stakes are higher. Your client data carries IRS, FTC Safeguards, and state-level compliance requirements that do not disappear when you move to the cloud.
