Network Penetration Testing for Law Firms companies in Puerto Rico
Network Penetration Testing for Law Firms in San Juan, Puerto Rico
Law firms in San Juan and across Puerto Rico are prime targets for cybercriminals. Client matters, M&A documents, litigation strategies, and privileged communications are extremely valuable on the black market. Attackers use malware, phishing emails, password attacks, SQL injections, and ransomware to gain access to this information and disrupt operations.
The financial impact is significant. In 2021, the median cost of a data breach reached $4.24 million per incident, and that figure is based only on breaches that were voluntarily reported. For a Puerto Rico law firm, a serious breach can also trigger reputational damage, bar complaints, malpractice exposure, regulatory scrutiny, and client loss.
To stay ahead of these threats, firms need to regularly review, test, and upgrade their cybersecurity controls—not just install a firewall and hope for the best.
Network penetration testing (or net-pen testing) is a form of ethical hacking where security professionals simulate real-world cyberattacks on your firm’s IT infrastructure. The goal is simple: find and safely exploit vulnerabilities before criminals do. For law firms, a well-executed penetration test helps leadership:
Identify weaknesses in on-premises networks, cloud platforms, email, and remote access used by attorneys and staff.
Validate existing security controls such as firewalls, EDR, MFA, and email security.
Meet client, insurer, and regulatory expectations for cybersecurity due diligence and risk management.
Reduce the risk of data breaches involving privileged and confidential information.

Network Penetration Testing Methodology
OCD Tech follows a structured and repeatable penetration testing methodology tailored to San Juan law firms. While the execution is technical, the objective is straightforward: simulate how a real attacker would attempt to breach your firm, move through your systems, and access sensitive legal data.
Our typical methodology includes:
Passive Reconnaissance – Quietly gathering publicly available information about your firm, domains, email formats, exposed services, and staff targets.
Active Reconnaissance – Scanning and probing networks, cloud environments, and internet-facing systems to identify open ports, services, and potential entry points.
Social Engineering – Testing susceptibility to phishing and related tactics that commonly target attorneys, assistants, and administrative staff.
Exploitation – Attempting to exploit discovered vulnerabilities (for example, unpatched systems, weak passwords, misconfigurations) under controlled and authorized conditions.
Post-Exploitation – Determining what an attacker could do after gaining a foothold, such as accessing file shares, mailboxes, or case management databases.
Privilege Escalation – Attempting to obtain higher-level access, including domain admin or access to critical legal systems.
Lateral Movement – Simulating how an attacker would move across your network, from one compromised system to others, to reach more sensitive data.
Maintain Access – Identifying how an attacker could create persistence mechanisms to quietly retain access over time.
Covering Tracks – Demonstrating how logs and evidence could be manipulated or removed, highlighting weaknesses in monitoring and incident response.
Reporting – Delivering a detailed, non-jargon-heavy report with executive summaries for firm leadership, technical details for IT, and prioritized remediation actions.
The outcome is a clear picture of your firm’s real-world security posture and a practical roadmap to strengthen defenses against ransomware, insider threats, and targeted attacks.
