What managed IT covers for a law firm
Confidentiality by design
Access control, encryption, MFA, and audited admin rights so privileged matter data is seen only by those who need it — the confidentiality the profession (and POPIA) demands.
Independent matter-data backup
Separate, tested backup of your document management, mailboxes, and SharePoint — because a deleted or ransomware-hit matter file is a professional-negligence risk, not just lost data.
Email security & invoice-fraud defence
Layered email filtering and finance-team training to stop the business-email-compromise scams that target trust-account and conveyancing payments at SA firms.
Court filing deadlines and client meetings don't reschedule for an IT outage. Proactive monitoring catches most issues first; what slips through gets a sub-1-hour response.

Why South African law firms choose MiBOT
A law firm runs on confidentiality and deadlines. Privileged client data, trust-account integrity, and the ability to file or appear on time are non-negotiable — which makes reactive break-fix IT a genuine professional risk, not just an inconvenience.
Client due-diligence and tender questionnaires increasingly ask how your IT is secured. MiBOT is certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 — independently audited (TNV Global, UAF/IAF accredited) — so you can answer with evidence. Most SA MSPs talk about security without certification; for a firm whose clients ask, that distinction is the closer.
POPIA obligations on a law firm are real, and the technology underneath them has to hold up: access control, encryption, tested backups, documented incident response. We implement those technical safeguards to support your compliance — your compliance officer or adviser owns the framework; we make sure the IT supports it.
Conveyancing and trust-account payments make law firms a prime target for invoice-fraud and business-email-compromise. We close that path with layered email filtering, MFA, conditional access, and finance-team awareness training — and we back up matter data independently so a ransomware hit doesn't become a negligence claim.
IT support for law firms — FAQ
Our clients' due-diligence asks how our IT is secured. What can we tell them?
That your IT partner is certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 — independently audited to the international information-security standard — and that you have documented technical safeguards: access control, encryption, MFA, tested backups, and incident response. We can provide the detail behind those controls so you answer questionnaires with evidence, not promises.
Can you make our firm POPIA compliant?
We implement the technical safeguards that SUPPORT POPIA compliance — access management, encryption, tested backups, documented incident response. We're your IT partner, not a compliance consultancy: your compliance officer or legal adviser owns the framework, and we ensure the technology underneath it holds up.
What protects us against trust-account / conveyancing payment fraud?
Layered email filtering catches spoofed and look-alike emails before the inbox; MFA and conditional access block account takeover; and awareness training teaches your team to verify any change of banking details out-of-band. Business-email-compromise is the most common attack on SA firms handling large payments, and no single control stops it — the layering does.
Do you have to be on-site at our firm?
Mostly no — the core of managed IT (monitoring, Microsoft 365, security, backup, helpdesk) is delivered remotely nationwide, with sub-1-hour response on logged incidents. For hands-on work, on-site is dispatched from our Centurion and Rustenburg offices. We're honest about the limits of remote support and coordinate local hands where physical work is genuinely needed.
