Dallas: Protect Your Firm's Reputation by Managing Third-Party Risk

When:  Mar 28, 2017 from 12:00 to 13:00 (CT)

Protect Your Firm's Reputation by Managing Third-Party Risk

Lunch Sponsor: HBR Consulting

Description:
While many law firms are focused on improving NBI (new business intake) processes, join us to learn about the increasing importance of NVI (new vendor intake) and how taking simple steps can reduce risk when entering into vendor relationships.

Law firms are attractive targets for hackers. They hold sensitive, confidential data ranging from the personal (divorce, personal injury) to the professional (contract negotiations, trade secrets, mergers and acquisitions, financial data and more) that, if compromised, could cause catastrophic damage to both a firm and its clients. We'll share insights on how to protect your firm's reputation by effectively mitigating third-party risk.
