Texas SB 2610 helps organizations establish a better-documented compliance posture when they can demonstrate that a cybersecurity program was in place before a data breach or cyber incident occurred.
For law firms, this matters deeply because client confidentiality, professional responsibility, and business continuity all intersect with cybersecurity.
What Does SB 2610 Safe Harbor Typically Require?
A practical program should document:
- Who is responsible for cybersecurity decisions
- Which systems and vendors hold sensitive firm or client data
- How access is granted, reviewed, and removed
- Whether multi-factor authentication is required
- How backups are created, protected, and tested
- How security incidents are reported and escalated
Start with Evidence
Safe harbor strength comes from proof that controls are actually operating. Strong evidence includes MFA reports, backup test results, vendor contracts, and access review logs.
Review Annually (Minimum)
Review your cybersecurity program at least once per year and update it whenever the firm adds new tools, locations, or vendors.
