Law Firm Completes High-Stakes Acquisition with Zero Cyber Disruption, Supported by Fenix24
The Challenge:
A mid-sized law firm, already protected by Grypho5 following a successful breach response led by Fenix24 in 2021, was preparing to acquire a peer of similar size.
Given the acquiring firm’s history with a high-impact breach that resulted in significant damage to their reputation and client list, the primary concern was integrating the newly acquired firm into the existing security ecosystem quickly and seamlessly.
Before they voted to confirm the acquisition, the partners needed to be fully convinced that cybersecurity risks at the acquired firm could be remediated without disrupting operations or compromising the firm’s now-strengthened security posture.
The Solution:
Fenix24 was brought in to assess and secure the acquired firm’s IT environment.
Our team:
- Rapidly evaluated risks and remediation needs.
- Procured and deployed the required hardware and software.
- Onboarded the acquired firm into a managed protection program.
- Assumed responsibility for full monitoring, management, and maintenance across the newly combined entity.
Despite the complexities of merging two firms under a tight timeline, Fenix24 delivered speed, accuracy, and stability. The team deployed protections with zero business interruptions, ensuring a smooth transition into the managed security ecosystem.
The Outcome:
From day one of the acquisition, the newly acquired firm was fully protected by Grypho5, with the entire onboarding process and full implementation being completed in under 90 days. Fenix24’s involvement gave leadership the confidence to move forward knowing:
- Protections were in place immediately, leaving no window of vulnerability.
- Client services continued without disruption during the transition.
- Both firms now operated under the same consistent, high-standard security model.
What could have been a risky period of exposure became a seamless, protected transition. With Fenix24’s support, the firm secured its future and its reputation, proving that resilience is just as important in peacetime as it is in crisis.
