The risk is real
Law firms face threats that generic IT can't handle.
Your professional obligations don't leave room for an underpowered IT provider. The stakes — client confidentiality, regulatory standing, firm reputation — demand better.
Aging servers are a ticking clock
Legacy on-premises servers run past end-of-life create compounding risk: unpatched vulnerabilities, hardware failure, and costly emergency replacements. Law firms often delay upgrades — attackers know it.
Law firms are high-value ransomware targets
Client files, financial records, litigation strategy, and trust accounting data make law firms extraordinarily attractive to ransomware actors. A single breach can trigger regulatory investigations and professional conduct reviews.
Solicitor-client privilege demands more than a firewall
Maintaining confidentiality isn't just an ethical obligation — it's a legal one. Your IT infrastructure needs to be purpose-built for privacy, with audit trails, access controls, and documented security posture.
Private VPS hosting
Retire aging servers. Gain a private, hardened infrastructure.
On-premises servers aging past end-of-life are the single most common source of avoidable security incidents in law firms. Aegisys private VPS hosting gives your firm a controlled migration path — dedicated infrastructure, fully managed, hosted in Canada.
Unlike generic cloud providers, every Aegisys VPS is dedicated exclusively to your firm — no shared hardware, no shared risk.
No more shared infrastructure risk
Each Aegisys private VPS is 100% dedicated to your firm. Your client data is isolated — no co-tenants, no resource contention, no cross-client exposure.
Retire legacy servers on your timeline
Migrate aging on-prem servers to managed cloud VPS at a controlled pace. We handle the transition — including legacy application compatibility — with zero disruption to your practice.
Disaster recovery built in
Automated daily backups with monthly tested restores. Custom RTO/RPO aligned to your practice's tolerance. Your firm stays operational even in a worst-case scenario.
Canadian data residency — guaranteed
All VPS infrastructure runs in our Sudbury, Ontario data centres. Client files, trust records, and communications never cross the border. No foreign jurisdiction exposure.
End-of-life server? We've seen this before.
Most law firms we onboard are running servers 5–10 years past recommended replacement age. We migrate them safely — preserving legacy app compatibility — and put your firm on hardened, fully managed infrastructure that meets today's security standards.
24/7 SOC monitoring
Our Security Operations Centre monitors your firm's environment around the clock using Barracuda XDR — detecting and responding to threats before they escalate.
Automated threat response
Barracuda SOAR automatically isolates compromised devices, removes malicious emails, and revokes suspicious access — often before your team knows an incident occurred.
Zero-trust access controls
Every user, every device, every access event is verified and logged. Just-in-time authentication means no standing privileges — even for Aegisys technicians.
Endpoint detection & response
EDR/XDR protection on every device. Behavioural analysis catches novel threats that signature-based tools miss — critical for a profession targeted by sophisticated actors.
SecureONE platform
Security and privacy. Forged together.
SecureONE is Aegisys's proprietary cybersecurity platform — combining EDR/XDR protection, 24/7 SOC monitoring, and automated incident response into a single managed service purpose-built for organizations where privacy isn't optional.
For law firms, that means every device, every user, and every communication is protected by the same layered controls that guard healthcare and government clients.
Your IT provider should be held to the same standard you are.
SOC 2 Type II certification means Aegisys's security controls are verified by an independent third-party auditor — not self-reported, not theoretical. We are among the top 5% of MSPs worldwide to hold this certification.
For law firms subject to Law Society obligations and professional conduct standards, working with a SOC 2 Type II certified provider is the clearest evidence of due diligence when it comes to protecting client data.

Doc says
“A law firm's reputation is built on trust — and trust starts with knowing your client files are protected, recoverable, and never held hostage.”
Immutable backups — retained in Canada
