Industry-specific challenges
What makes IT especially demanding in Law Firms & Tax Advisors
Professional duty of confidentiality
Client data is subject to §203 StGB (German Criminal Code) — a data breach is not only expensive, but existential under professional law.
DATEV dependency
The entire firm depends on DATEV — performance, backup, and secure access must run flawlessly.
Mandatory beA / beSt
The special electronic mailbox for lawyers (beA) and tax advisors (beSt) must be integrated securely and reliably.
Mobile & hybrid work
Client files must be available from anywhere — without breaching the duty of confidentiality.
Finally an IT provider that truly understands the duty of confidentiality. DATEV runs fast, the backup is tested, and mobile access is properly secured.
