Is your law firm’s confidential and sensitive information being inadvertently leaked?

In 2006, lawyers for AT&T accidentally released sensitive information while defending a high priority lawsuit accusing the company of facilitating a government wiretapping program. Before that, law suits related to Merck’s now withdrawn drug, Vioxx, have cost it millions of dollars – again, due to accidentally released information.

The sensitive or confidential information that made these stories headline news was exposed through hidden data (‘metadata’) - stored behind the visible content of electronic documents and overlooked when the documents were emailed.

Metadata is all round us, in email attachments, ‘tracked changes’ in MS Word, documents posted on websites, and pleading forms copied and pasted.

Don’t leave your law firm open to this kind of risk.

By automatically removing metadata, 3BView’s Information Leak Prevention (ILP) solutions help ensure that your firm is not leaking confidential or sensitive information. The metadata scrubbing and removal tools can also help facilitate e-discovery compliance. 3BView’s tools for data loss prevention are sophisticated, powerful and easy to configure and use, with minimal training required.

• Server Based Metadata Removal

3BView’s 3BClean product helps law firms ensure that document metadata is automatically removed at the server level, in a manner that is transparent to employees. 3BView's solution can be used to clean documents as they are emailed, or as they come out of a firm's document management system.

• Works with PDA/Blackberry and Webmail

Busy Law firm staff are often sending emails when they are on the road, in court or burning the midnight oil at home. Because 3BView's solutions are server based you're not just limited to your desktop - they work anywhere you are.

Whether you are on a desktop, laptop, Blackberry, Wireless device or sending emails via webmail, 3BView has you covered.

As well as using 3BClean for ongoing protection, law firms can now eliminate the worry of old documents containing metadata by implementing a one-off cleaning of all legacy documents
