Digital automation & data proteccton in legal operations
How to extract value from information without exposing personal data?
An increase in the volume of workload, a
greater demand to provide advice,
manage risk and ensure legal compliance,
as well as the pressure to shine as
experts in multiple areas has led law
firms to focus on the improvement of
legal operations through the use of new
technologies to implement digital
automation. (1)
In the words of The Corporate Legal Operations Consortium (CLOC) the focus of Legal Operations has shifted in the last ten years. Before, the focus was on risk management and trying to reduce outside counsel costs. Today, Legal Operations is an integrated, trusted business partner to the entire organization by identifying
opportunities for automated processes
and strategically use service providers to drive efficiency (while still reducing
costs)
Once organizations have a better transparency of their data, they can use it to make better decisions about how they provide service to their clients and solve common challenges with the help of technology solutions. (2)
What are the processes directly benefited by the use of technology and data?
Service

Automate
standardized
processes where
legal advice does not

Knowledge
Management
Gathering

documenting it and
then making it
available for those
who need it.
Information
Governance
The implementation
of technology
ensures that the
right data are
gathered and stored.
Business
Intelligence
Make better

data.
The benefits of harnessing the value of
data and using digital automation are
clear. But how to guarantee the security
of personal data without giving up the
value of the information?
The anonymization and pseudonymization of personal data is the answer. Thanks to these masking techniques, it is possible to:
- Comply with data protection regulations.
- Mitigate the risk of data leakage.
- Maintain the value of the information (comprehension and legibility of the texts).
In addition, in order to ensure that the
value of the information remains intact so
that it continues to be useful for business
intelligence or knowledge management, it
is essential to choose an appropriate
replacement method: tokenization or
synthetic data.
We are currently working with our clients
in the legal sector, enabling the use of
new technologies without putting
personal data at risk. In particular,
knowledge management projects are an
area in which Nymiz is playing a decisive role: we protect personal data, allowing information not to lose value and to be shared safely throughout the law firm.
Digital automation is already a reality in the legal sector. Law firms are increasingly benefiting from the data they accumulate to become data and knowledge driven organizations.
Ensuring data protection in this context
is a priority objective for which Nymiz
offers an agile and simple solution
