ACC Data Steward Program: Evaluating Law Firm Security
Corporations give their law firms more sensitive information than any other
type of vendor. Yet surveys show that 70% of companies do not assess the
security of their firms and legal service providers.
The Association of Corporate Counsel through its 10,000 member companies
is looking to change this. Based on a new and innovative model, ACC recently
launched its Data Steward Program for assessing and accrediting law firms.
Developed through an industry-wide collaboration, this global program is set
to be the standard in the legal industry.
