Before considering a new document & email management system, it’s important to distinguish the unique functional requirements of legal departments. This tool will help you understand how a modern document management system (DMS) can enable your legal department to be more secure, agile, and productive.
Legal departments require the highest levels of security protections, so your DMS should deliver a multilayered approach to document security that’s both comprehensive and unobtrusive to the end user.
Documents and emails should be automatically encrypted, with need-to-know access, as well as have behavioral analytics to monitor and flag abnormal user activity.
