I've heard the opinion voiced that using the Android OS, or more fundamentally Google apps, constitutes a breach of client confidentiality, since Google indexes all the data stored in its cloud, including client docs, client e-mail, etc. This has kept me from using Android/Google, which I'd otherwise use in a flash;
Being a security expert and having worked in the field for over 15 years. You are more likely in breach due to security related issues within your own environment. I am working with the NC Bar Association to outline why cloud based apps are ok to use and in particular Google Apps.
I, too, am concerned about client confidentiality. It seems as though the current MO as to The California Bar, is terrorizing attorneys.
@Brandon, Could you be more specific about security (or lack thereof) within one's own environment and why cloud based applications and in particular Google Applications are OK to use?
Thank you, Afton Attorney in Placer County California
I would very much like to rely upon Google Apps as I launch my solo practice, downsizing from Biglaw firm, but am concerned about the Google privacy issues of late. What state bars have weighed in on Google Apps vis-a-vis client confidentiality?
The next step is to go to the Google Apps Marketplace and add nimble.com so GAPS is extended with a social CRM component
ReplyDeleteWould love to know what they are using for practice management software.
