Legal Technology – Can Security And Confidentiality Of Clients’ Data Be Guaranteed?
The need for Lawyers to embrace
technology for improved service delivery and efficiency in Case work and
Billing management cannot be overemphasized. However, there has been a lot of
debates over the possibility of clients' data being protected with the use of
legal technologies. This has become a major issue especially after the
occurrence of some major incidents in the world that have necessitated such
debates.
The question here is "Should
Lawyers and professionals in other fields then ignore the use of technology?"
The answer is no. There are always ways to go about solving problems like this.
It should be noted that the GDPR
has been introduced to regulate the collection, storage, and use of personal
data. While this law applies to people from certain countries currently, it is
only the beginning of a revolution of how personal data are used on the
internet. In line with this, regulatory bodies in different countries are
beginning to formulate regulations as to the use of personal data. In Nigeria,
for instance, the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA)
has come up with the Data Protection Guidelines 2017 (DPG2017) which will come
into effect soon.
If you go through the GDPR and
DPG2017, you will understand that the provision of technological solutions is
regulated. Hence, it is possible for a lawyer to safely use IT solutions to
improve his or her day to day activities with the assurance that clients' data
are protected and keep confidential. All lawyers need to do is to accept IT solutions
from IT companies that are GDPR and DPG2017 compliant.
