What the Results Reveal

  • Best performer: Holland & Hart leads at 70% — 1 firm(s) reach a Good (70%+) posture.
  • Lowest performer: Strong & Hanni at 44%.
  • 5 of 10 scored below 60%, leaving client communications exposed to spoofing and BEC.
  • Common gaps include weak DMARC enforcement and missing MTA-STS.

Why This Matters in Utah

Utah law firms handle privileged client information across corporate, litigation, and regulatory matters. Weak email security increases Business Email Compromise, domain spoofing, and confidentiality risks under the Utah Rules of Professional Conduct.
