Sedona Conference Releases Draft Commentary on Law Firm Data Security

April 8, 2020

The Sedona Conference and its Working Group 11 on Data Security and Privacy Liability (WG11) announced on April 7 that The Sedona Conference Commentary on Law Firm Data Security ("Commentary") has been published for public comment.

The announcement stated, "WG11 developed this Commentary to identify ways that organizations and law firms should approach and address organization concerns about law firm data security. The Commentary is intended to foster respectful and mutually beneficial dialogue between organizations and their firms regarding organization expectations and law firm capabilities. The Commentary seeks to move this dialogue forward by providing best practices focused on data security requirements that are meaningful considering the organization's obligation to protect the data, the type of data the organization is providing to the law firm, and the law firm's operating environment. In short, this Commentary intends to provide an effective road map for more efficient, effective communication to address data security issues and scenarios confronted by organizations and the law firms they engage."

The Commentary may be downloaded for free here. The Commentary is open for public comment through June 8, 2020. Questions and comments may be sent to .

I think that recent events will give rise to lots of comments!
