Recently, Michael Houlihan & Partners achieved ISO 9001:2015 quality mark accreditation. They want to continue their track record of high quality and success, so they’re doing everything they can to update and secure their systems.[/vc_column_text][ultimate_heading main_heading=”The Problem” main_heading_color=”#1f345f” sub_heading_color=”#1f345f” alignment=”left” spacer=”line_with_icon” spacer_position=”bottom” line_height=”2″ line_color=”#1f345f” icon=”Defaults-puzzle-piece” icon_size=”30″ icon_color=”#1f345f” main_heading_font_family=”font_family:Fira Sans|font_call:Fira+Sans|variant:500″ main_heading_style=”font-weight:500;” main_heading_margin=”margin-top:30px;”][/ultimate_heading][vc_column_text]Because of the nature of the legal profession, data security is critical. Michael Houlihan & Partners are committed to keeping the security of their clients’ information safe.
With this commitment in mind, they prioritized their annual IT review and recently completed a major hardware upgrade of PCs. As they planned their IT upgrade, they set themselves three main IT goals:
- To implement the best in class data security, due to the confidential and commercially sensitive data held with the firm.
- To meet full data protection compliance and GDPR requirements.
- To recover information in the event of an onsite disaster, such as a flood, fire, or other catastrophic event.
Going forward, Michael Houlihan Solicitors will continue to invest in the latest technology available to ensure that their networks and client data remain secure at all times. This commitment to security and investment in technology positions them substantially ahead of their principal competitors.

To protect staff and secure network perimeter defenses, we have implemented CyberSAFE, a managed multi-layered cyber security protection service designed to prevent hackers and outside intruders from gaining access to the corporate network. CyberSAFE also protects staff while on the internet.
We have also implemented TLS and DMARC email security for Michael Houlihan & Partners. The firm itself implemented full disk encryption on all mobile devices, following the lead of enterprises, businesses, and government agencies around the world.
Finally, Newtec Services implemented DataSAFE, which combines on-site and offsite data backup.
