As law firms accelerate their digital transformation journeys, a critical truth is becoming clear: the shift to SaaS platforms like iManage Cloud has outpaced many firms’ ability to adequately protect their data. This August, HYCU is heading to ILTACON 2025 with a message that’s already shaking up the legal IT world—and a solution purpose-built to close that gap.

SaaS Adoption Is Surging. Data Protection? Not So Much.

In our latest global research conducted by Vanson Bourne, 85% of IT decision-makers in legal and professional services said they believe their SaaS providers fully protect their data. The reality is more complex.

SaaS vendors operate under a shared responsibility model. That means while platforms like iManage Cloud, Microsoft 365, DocuSign, and Box secure the infrastructure, customers remain responsible for backing up and recovering their data. Yet only a fraction of firms have that level of resilience in place.

Other key findings from the State of SaaS Resilience 2025 report:

  • 63% of business and professional services firms experienced a SaaS data security breach in the past year.
  • Ransomware attacks on U.S. law firms surged 30% in Q1 2024, with ransom demands now exceeding $500,000 on average.
  • 36% of breaches were traced to third-party vendors—up nearly seven points year over year. ‍

This is the backdrop against which HYCU is making waves.

With HYCU R-Cloud for iManage Cloud, you can recover anything from a single document to an entire library in just one click, including metadata and permissions.

As HYCU CEO Simon Taylor puts it, “Without sovereign, compliant backup solutions, many firms are one click or one attack away from serious operational, reputational, and regulatory consequences.”
