From confidentiality-focused IT architecture and wire-fraud / business email compromise defense to document-management security and after-hours email protection — we run the day-to-day IT and security program your law firm needs. We work alongside your firm's ethics counsel or professional-responsibility lead — they own the bar-rules interpretation; we own the technical safeguards behind it. CISSP-led. Arkansas-based.
Three things. We work alongside your firm's ethics counsel or professional-responsibility lead on the IT and security side — they own the bar-rules interpretation, we own the technical safeguards (encryption, MFA, access controls, monitoring, backup). We deploy wire-fraud and BEC defenses around your outgoing wires — including IOLTA and real-estate closings, one of the largest documented fraud-loss categories for law firms. And the founder is CISSP-credentialed and the author of Cyber Fortresses (published on Amazon), with Beyond the Prompt: The Business Owner's Guide to Understanding AI as his second book and more titles in the pipeline.
If any of these describe your firm's current situation, the gap isn't generic IT capability — it's law-firm-specific depth. We close that gap.
Business email compromise — including wire-fraud attacks on real-estate closings, escrow accounts, and IOLTA wires — caused over $2.9 billion in adjusted losses in a single year per the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center. Law firms are a primary target because the closing-wire workflow is predictable, urgent, and high-dollar. Source: FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) Annual Report.
You hand them a question about encrypted email, matter-scoped access controls, or what your firm's ethics counsel said about cloud storage — and you get a blank stare. They're good with general IT. They've never had a client where the IT decision is also an ethics decision. So your office manager ends up translating bar-rules requirements into IT-vendor language every time you need something.
An email comes in — looks like it's from the title company, looks like it's from the seller's attorney — and the wiring instructions have been updated. Operations is about to send the wire. Somebody catches it just in time. Or somebody doesn't, and you spend the next year working with the FBI, the bar, and your insurance carrier trying to recover six or seven figures. Either way, your defenses weren't built for the actual threat.
Opposing counsel asks for the preservation timeline. Your IT vendor doesn't have one. The matter manager says she sent an email "to everyone" telling them to preserve, but there's no log of who acknowledged, what backups got frozen, or whether anything rolled off the email retention policy three months in. Now you're explaining a process gap to a judge instead of producing evidence.
Your cyber-liability renewal questionnaire used to fit on one page. The current version is a 35-question deep technical assessment with MFA-coverage maps, EDR-tool requirements, wire-fraud-control documentation, IOLTA-specific safeguards, BEC training proof, and incident-response plans. Answer "no" to enough of them and your premium doubles, your coverage shrinks, or your application gets declined. Carriers caught on to law-firm risk faster than most firms updated their programs.
Built around what your bar's ethics opinions and your cyber-insurance underwriter actually look for — not generic "cybersecurity" deliverables.
Network, server, endpoint, and cloud setup designed around protecting privileged information. Encrypted email and storage, matter-scoped access controls, audit logging, MFA on every account with privileged-information access, and documented configurations your ethics counsel or professional-responsibility lead can point to when the bar question comes up.
Email is the #1 attack vector against law firms — phishing, BEC, fake court filings, fake opposing-counsel deliveries, fake wiring-instruction updates. We deploy advanced threat protection, encrypted-email enforcement for outbound privileged communications, endpoint detection on every workstation and server, web filtering, and the layered defenses that match the actual threat profile of an attorney's inbox.
Layered defenses against the largest documented loss category for law firms: business email compromise, callback verification protocols for any wire-instruction change, dual-control approval workflows on outgoing wires, behavioral baselining on the operations team's email, and tabletop drills so your closing team knows what a fraudulent wire-instruction update looks like before it's a real loss event.
IT-side support for NetDocuments, iManage, Worldox, SharePoint-based DMS deployments, and traditional file-server document management. Identity federation, single sign-on, MFA enrollment, matter-scoped access, off-site backup integration, retention policy enforcement, and — when your litigation team or e-discovery vendor identifies a preservation duty — the technical legal-hold work to freeze the relevant data so nothing rolls off retention.
The conflict-check database holds some of your firm's most sensitive client-relationship information. We harden access (MFA + role-based controls), log queries (so you have an audit trail of who searched for whom), encrypt the underlying data, and back it up off-site on documented retention. The infrastructure-side work that almost nobody else does on conflict systems.
Generic phishing-simulation content (fake password resets, fake DocuSign requests) catches some attacks but misses the law-firm-specific ones: fake wiring-instruction updates on real-estate closings, fake client emergency requests, fake opposing-counsel document deliveries, fake court-filing notifications. We build phishing simulations around the scenarios your firm actually sees, with measurable improvement reporting over time.
These are the four bodies of guidance Arkansas law firms answer to. Your ethics counsel, your professional-responsibility lead, and your bar-recommended legal-IT advisor own the interpretation of these rules. We work alongside them to keep the IT and security side of the program lined up with what those professionals expect to see.
Generic MSPs do the IT work but haven't read an ABA ethics opinion. Legal-IT consultancies write the assessment and disappear. Mansour's is the middle path — and the only one of the three that's locally based in Arkansas.

No 90-day discovery decks. No five-figure retainer before we'll take your call.
A quick conversation to understand your current state — what document management system you run, how your IOLTA and closing-wire workflow looks today, whether your cyber-insurance renewal is coming up, and what's keeping you up at night. You leave with a clear sense of whether a deeper conversation makes sense. No pressure if it's not a fit.
If we're a fit, we run a high-level assessment of your current IT and security posture against the kinds of technical safeguards your cyber-insurance underwriter and your firm's ethics counsel typically look for. Output is a prioritized plan with the work scoped, the fee fixed, and the rollout timed to your firm's calendar. You see the math before you commit.
We implement the plan and stay on as your ongoing IT and security partner — with continuous monitoring, encrypted off-site backups, law-firm-specific staff training and phishing simulations, wire-fraud and BEC defenses on your outgoing wires, technical legal-hold support when your e-discovery counsel needs it, and the documented configurations your ethics counsel or professional-responsibility lead can point to. One team. Institutional knowledge stays in one place.
Three Google reviews from clients across our regulated-industry portfolio — cybersecurity, sensitive-data protection, and patient, jargon-free support.
"Our accounting firm in Little Rock chose Mansour's Computer Solutions to handle our cybersecurity onboarding, and the experience was outstanding. They took the time to understand how we store and access sensitive client tax data, then implemented multiple layers of protection to keep our systems safe from hackers."
"When we experienced an email breach, their team responded the same day, resolved the issue promptly, and gave us the confidence to entrust them with all our IT needs. We had never worked with an IT firm before, and now we can't imagine needing anyone else."
"I needed a workstation that could keep up with my demanding schedule — clinical research, telehealth, and data security — all while working between home and the hospital. Mansour delivered exactly what I needed right here in Little Rock. His team built me a custom machine with the power of a gaming rig and the protection of an enterprise system."
We're familiar with the basics — Rule 1.6 is the duty of confidentiality, Rule 1.1 Comment 8 adds a duty of technology competence, and Arkansas has adopted parallel language. We're not your ethics counsel and we're not a legal-IT consultancy that interprets bar opinions. What we are is the IT and security team that works alongside your firm's ethics counsel or professional-responsibility lead — we own the technical safeguards (encrypted email, MFA, access controls, audit logging, off-site backup, endpoint protection) that those professionals need to be in place; they own the ethics interpretation and the bar communication.
Wire fraud against real-estate closings, escrow accounts, and IOLTA accounts is one of the largest documented loss categories for law firms in the U.S. — and it almost always starts with a spoofed email from "the seller", "the title company", or "the wiring instructions update". Our defenses are layered: business email compromise (BEC) detection on inbound mail, callback verification protocols for any wire-instruction change, dual-control approval workflows for outgoing wires, behavioral baselining on the operations team's email, and tabletop drills so your closing team knows what a fraudulent wire-instruction update looks like before it's an actual loss event.
On the IT and security side: NetDocuments, iManage, Worldox, SharePoint-based DMS deployments, and traditional file-server document management for smaller firms. We don't replace your DMS vendor's implementation team — we work alongside them on the IT plumbing: identity federation and single sign-on, MFA enrollment, access controls scoped to matter or client, off-site backup integration, retention policy enforcement, and the audit logging your professional-responsibility review expects to see.
On the IT side: when your litigation team or e-discovery vendor identifies the scope, we work with them to implement technical legal holds on the email and document systems (freezing retention so nothing rolls off, logging preservation actions for the audit trail). We're not the e-discovery vendor, we're not your litigation-support team, and we don't make calls on FRCP preservation scope or good-faith determinations — those belong to your e-discovery counsel. We're the technical operators making sure the data is intact when those professionals need it.
We're the technical first-responders. On suspected breach: contain the scope (isolate affected systems, preserve forensic evidence, change credentials), identify what client matters and data were accessed and by whom, document the timeline, and provide the technical record your firm's ethics counsel and outside breach counsel need. We don't make the ethics or legal call — that's your firm's ethics counsel, your professional-responsibility leadership, and outside breach counsel — but we make sure they have what they need to make those calls accurately.
Yes. Generic phishing-simulation content (fake Microsoft password resets, fake DocuSign requests) catches some attacks but misses the law-firm-specific ones: fake wiring-instruction updates on real-estate closings, fake client emergency requests, fake opposing-counsel document deliveries, fake court-filing notifications. We build phishing simulations around the scenarios your firm actually sees, document training records for the audit trail, and report measurable improvement in your team's detection rate over time.
Many of our law-firm clients have layered compliance obligations. A firm representing medical practices picks up HIPAA Business Associate obligations on any matter involving PHI. A firm representing financial-services clients picks up GLBA Safeguards Rule obligations. A firm doing IRS Tax Court work picks up IRS Publication 4557 obligations. We build the security program around the strictest applicable framework, then map it down to satisfy the others — so you're not stacking three contradictory compliance programs.
Most legal-IT consultancies deliver a written assessment and an invoice, then leave you to find an MSP to actually implement and operate the controls. We're the operator — we do the IT and security work day-to-day, alongside whatever legal-IT consultancy or ethics counsel your firm uses for the professional-responsibility interpretation. Plus we're locally based in Arkansas with same-day on-site response across 10 counties, not a national consultancy billing $300+/hour out of a different time zone.
In one quick call you'll walk away with: (1) where your current IT is leaking time, money, or risk, (2) what a fix looks like for a firm your size, and (3) whether Mansour's is the right fit. Real Arkansas technician on the call — not a salesperson.
