ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

For law firms, I would guess that 1-2 are the most likely mistakes being made. What would you say?

As for dumb mistakes to avoid, consider the following:

2. Do not forget to encrypt data.

5. Do not neglect reconfiguring badly configured servers and databases.

Look, I will 100% agree with the tips in the article, those three things are the base upon which everything your team does will grow. Get them wrong, and you won’t have much of a team left.
