Torrance, CA, April 01 , 2025 – Strategic Technology Solutions, a California-headquartered IT Managed Service Provider (MSP) serving law firms throughout the U.S., is pleased to announce their achievement in attaining SOC 2 Type II Cybersecurity Compliance for the fifth year in a row. STS’s commitment to client safety and unparalleled dedication to security is represented by their efforts and success in attaining compliance. It is a rare achievement among MSPs and other technology providers, and one which distinguishes STS as a leader in cybersecurity practices.  

SOC 2 Type II Compliance is a globally acknowledged auditing standard evaluating an organization’s security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. This audit qualifies providers to the highest caliber of cybersecurity standards. The audit and evidence-gathering process is the largest undertaking an organization must go through to achieve its certification. STS is constantly proactive in their approach to security, which is demonstrated through monthly security meetings, vulnerability review and assessments of gaps, and subsequent remediation of any risk.  

SOC 2 Type II audits require evidence, factual working, and proven processes and procedures. But, most importantly, STS must abide by its stringent company cyber security policy to ensure the company is holding themselves accountable at all times. Each employee must go through a yearly policy training and complete an executed approval confirming acknowledgement of the training. By keeping their environment safe and protected constantly, consistently, and proactively, STS can provide any evidence of their controls and remediation steps taken at any time. This, in turn, allows STS to stay constantly audit-ready and achieve certification without a hitch.  

Throughout the SOC 2 Type II audit process, STS continuously gains clarity on how to improve their clients’ understanding of risk. This includes the likelihood of experiencing a breach and a measure of the potential impact it would have. This proactive and transparent approach is of particularly high value to law firms, for whom risk management is an integral aspect of their business and the technology that powers it.  

Law firms operate at an inherent risk due to their handling of sensitive, proprietary, and classified information regarding matters, cases, and clients, in addition to the firm’s internal business operations and data. Law firms of all sizes are attractive targets for cyberattacks, and breaches most often lead to severe financial, operational, and legal consequences for firms. According to data from ExchangeDefender,  a security breach can cost a small law firm an average of $36,000, while 31% of the firm’s clients sever their relationship with the affected firm as a result.  

Utilizing a third-party vendor further complicates cybersecurity for law firms. Without properly vetting vendors, law firms may be devaluing the investment made in their own security. The third-parties or supply chain links a company engages with are typically the weakest item in their security posture, a risk that companies engaging with STS can mitigate due to their high level of security consciousness. When a law firm partners with STS, they can expect a level of security and rigorous controls that keep their firm safe by proxy, something that not many third-party vendors and partners can also promise.  

Surprisingly, few MSP’s —even those serving the legal industry – have followed suit behind STS.  That may be due to the rigorous standards and extensive expenditure of time, resources, and cost required to achieve SOC 2 Type II compliance.  Because STS believes that it is the responsibility and duty of technology partners to protect their clients to the highest degree, the company elects to invest in their SOC 2 Type II compliance each year to provide the best possible service and safety for STS clients.  

In concert with their commitment to maintaining SOC 2 Type II compliance, STS has integrated the Security Maturity Level Assessment (SMLA) process, methodology, and approach into its sales and onboarding procedures to further enhance the overall safety of the company and clients. This speaks to the company’s belief that security is a bedrock foundation of client trust and a prerequisite for excellent service and efficient operations.  

Sam Sheth, CIO and co-founder of STS, elaborates on the company’s high standards of cybersecurity and operations: 

“Once again, we are excited to achieve our SOC 2 Type II certification. Our team’s continued effort and commitment to obtaining such a distinguished accreditation make STS a leader in our industry. We’ve always argued that if we can’t demonstrate our own cybersecurity posture to our clients or prospects, how can we confidently provide trustworthy guidance about their cybersecurity needs?” 

James Waryck, CEO and co-founder of STS, describes the company’s commitment: 

“Year after year, STS has taken an ethical approach to investing in our commitment to security, confidentiality, and privacy.  By obtaining our SOC 2 Type II certification again, we further prove to our current and future clients that we operate at a higher standard than our competitors.  This compliance reassures our clients that their data is handled securely, providing them greater peace of mind knowing that their company is safe with STS.” 

STS is proud to be an early innovator and continuous champion of client safety in the MSP industry. From their first interaction with a client and throughout their transformative technology partnership, STS commits to providing the safest possible services and solutions to legal clients.
