Case Study: a legal firm achieves GDPR compliance and protects client data with Darkbeam

Darkbeam Supported A Legal Firm to Meet Their Data Protection Regulatory Requirements

A legal firm engaged Darkbeam to help meet its data protection regulatory requirements. The firm had limited in-house capabilities and needed to understand its digital footprint to mitigate threats. They required reassurance that a third-party provider hired to maintain their cyber posture, including SSL certificates, was meeting expectations.

Using its platform, Darkbeam instantly generated a Digital Risk Report that provided a hacker's eye view of the firm. The report immediately identified a critical vulnerability: a missing SSL certificate that exposed confidential client data in plain text, constituting a GDPR breach. As a result of Darkbeam's findings, the law firm dispensed with the third party's services, correctly deployed the SSL certificate, and ensured GDPR compliance to protect their clients.
