In these uncertain times, where health concerns are our most pressing challenge, there still must remain a focus on business-related concerns. Travel restrictions caused by the health crisis are affecting the performance of a business, with remote technologies required at a level never previously anticipated.

While these technologies support the ability of many of us to work and collaborate remotely, legal departments, law firms, and government agencies must ensure continued compliance with records retention requirements, data privacy laws (like CCPA – California Consumer Privacy Act and GDPR), and other operational regulations.

The risk of data breaches, or the increased threat of data loss, are both issues that can have severely negative consequences.
