Esquire Deposition Solutions Achieves ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Certification for Enhanced Data Security

Esquire Deposition Solutions LLC has achieved ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification for its information security management system, marking a significant upgrade from its previous ISO 27001:2013 certification. This internationally recognized standard validates that the company's policies, processes, and controls meet the highest industry standards for managing risks related to client data security. The certification represents Esquire's ongoing commitment to information security and data privacy leadership in the legal services sector.

Chief Information Officer Jim Ballowe emphasized that ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is considered the gold standard for information security management and validates the company's modern approach to data security. The certification demonstrates Esquire's deliberate investment in security measures, recognizing the ultimate trust that law firm and enterprise clients place in the company to protect their most sensitive data from security breaches. This achievement is particularly notable as smaller companies and third-party litigation service providers traditionally face challenges in obtaining such certification and have often flown under the radar when addressing information security vulnerabilities.

The certification supports Esquire's mission to preserve and protect the sanctity of the legal record to ensure equal access to justice for all. As part of its comprehensive security framework, Esquire has also successfully completed multiple Association of International Certified Professional Accountants SOC 2 Type II audits, providing ongoing assurance that the company's internal controls are well-designed and consistently operating effectively.

To achieve ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, Esquire underwent a rigorous, multi-stage audit covering security policies, data handling procedures, and operational resilience. The certification mandates specific requirements for implementing, monitoring, maintaining, and continually improving the information security management system. It prescribes best practices including documentation requirements, divisions of responsibility, availability protocols, access control measures, security auditing, and corrective and preventive measures. This certification also assists organizations in complying with numerous regulatory and legal requirements related to information security.

The enhanced security measures significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access, data breaches, and information leaks for clients. By implementing strict security controls, Esquire safeguards court transcripts, exhibits, and other sensitive client information throughout the entire court reporting process. This is particularly crucial for a company that supports more than 300,000 depositions annually and serves as a leading national provider of remote and in-person court reporting, video, translation, transcription, interpreting services, deposition summaries, and record retrieval services for law firms, insurance companies, and corporate legal departments.
