Law firms admit to losing confidential data on mobiles
A quarter of UK legal firms admit that they have misplaced at least one mobile device containing confidential documents, a survey has shown.
The lax attitude of legal firms towards data security leaves case-notes, contract details and client information at risk.
The survey, conducted on 100 legal firms by market research company The Survey Shop on behalf of UK IT security firm Credant Technologies, found that 90 percent of lawyers surveyed believe their data is fully protected by a password. Four percent of lawyers do not use any security whatsoever.
