Network Penetration Testing for Law Firms in Las Vegas
Law firms in Las Vegas and across Nevada are prime targets for cybercriminals. Client files, litigation strategy, M&A data, and privileged communications are exactly the type of information attackers want to steal, encrypt, or sell. Common attack methods include phishing emails, ransomware, password attacks, malware, and SQL injection against case management and document systems.
In 2021, the median cost of a data breach reached $4.24M per incident—and that figure only reflects voluntarily reported cases. For law firms, the real impact often goes beyond direct cost: bar complaints, malpractice exposure, loss of client trust, and disruption of court deadlines.
To manage this risk, law firms need to regularly review, test, and upgrade their cybersecurity controls. A one-time security audit is not enough for an environment that handles sensitive client data every day.
What is Network Penetration Testing for Law Firms?
Network penetration testing (often called “pentesting”) is a controlled, ethical hacking exercise where security professionals simulate real-world attacks against your firm’s IT infrastructure. The goal is simple: find the weak points before an attacker does.
For Las Vegas law firms, this typically includes testing:
Office networks, Wi‑Fi, and remote access used by attorneys and staff
Cloud-hosted practice management, billing, and document management platforms
Email systems frequently targeted by phishing and Business Email Compromise
VPNs and remote desktop services used for working from home, court, or client sites
The results of a penetration test provide firm leadership with clear, prioritized insight into:
Which vulnerabilities could realistically lead to client data exposure
Whether existing technical and administrative controls work as intended
How prepared the firm is for ransomware and insider threat scenarios
Compliance with professional responsibility obligations and client security expectations

In-house legal departments supporting Nevada-based businesses
Our team combines hands-on penetration testing expertise with practical understanding of law firm operations, confidentiality obligations, and uptime requirements.

Each engagement culminates in a clear, executive-ready report that:
Explains the issues in business and legal risk terms, not just technical jargon
Ranks vulnerabilities by impact and likelihood
Provides specific, practical remediation steps tailored to your firm
Our Network Penetration Testing Methodology
OCD Tech follows a structured, repeatable methodology that mirrors how real attackers operate, but in a controlled and authorized manner. A typical engagement for a Nevada law firm includes:
Passive Reconnaissance – Quietly gathering information about your firm from public sources to understand your attack surface (domains, exposed services, email patterns).
Active Reconnaissance – Safely scanning and mapping your external and internal networks to identify systems, services, and potential misconfigurations.
Social Engineering (when in scope) – Testing how susceptible staff may be to realistic phishing or pretexting attempts aimed at gaining access to accounts or systems.
Exploitation – Attempting to exploit identified weaknesses to gain unauthorized access, using the same techniques real attackers use—but under strict rules of engagement.
Post-Exploitation – Determining what an attacker could actually do once inside: access to file shares, email, matter data, or administrative systems.
Privilege Escalation – Attempting to move from a regular user account to higher-privileged accounts (e.g., IT admin, practice management admin).
Lateral Movement – Testing how far we can move across your network from an initial foothold, simulating an assumed compromise scenario.
Maintain Access – Identifying whether long-term, stealthy access could be maintained without detection.
Cover Tracks – Assessing how easily an attacker could hide their activity from basic monitoring and logging.
Reporting & Debrief – Delivering a detailed report and walkthrough with your leadership and IT team, including remediation guidance and a prioritized action plan.
Throughout the engagement, we coordinate closely with your firm to minimize disruption to ongoing legal work, court deadlines, and client commitments.
