Law firm workplace modernisation
Microsoft 365 and device estate modernised with deskside support across multiple offices.
The sector
What matters here
Legal practices carry an obligation that goes beyond data protection: client confidentiality is a professional duty, and it applies to the technician who walks into a partner office as much as to the document management system. We staff this work with screened, directly-employed people and evidence what they did, because using a local contractor is not an answer a firm can give its clients.
Challenges we solve
Three problems, addressed by design
Confidentiality in the room
Deskside work happens where privileged material sits. Every worker is directly employed, background-verified and bound by our confidentiality obligations, with the visit recorded against the work order.
Document-heavy, latency-sensitive workflows
Large files, document management systems and hybrid working make performance a daily complaint. We modernise the workplace - identity, devices, Microsoft 365 and connectivity - and then measure the user experience rather than assume it.
Disposal with professional consequences
Retired devices carry privileged material. Destruction to NIST 800-88 with a certificate per asset and unbroken custody gives the firm something concrete to put in front of a client or regulator.
Compliance & governance
How we hold the line
Stated generically - the specific frameworks, clearances and evidence formats are agreed per contract and enforced in Cogent OS rather than promised in a policy document.
✓Background verification on every worker, including identity, right to work and criminal record checks
✓Confidentiality obligations flowed down contractually to every deployed worker
✓Client data processed under GDPR with documented sub-processor positions
✓Information security aligned to ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials
✓Data destruction to NIST 800-88 with certificate and chain of custody per asset
✓Access to firm systems governed by least privilege and logged in Cogent OS
Proof
