Features

Wall Builder provides law firms with unprecedented control over internal information security.

Web-Based, Intuitive and Accessible

With Wall Builder, access screens are easy to create, monitor and manage. The application provides a straightforward, wizard-driven interface to configure and control walls. It also allows administrators to restrict user account permissions so that IT, conflicts and attorneys have appropriate levels of visibility and control.

Multiple Security Models for Real-World Scenarios

Different situations call for different security models. For example, Exclusionary Walls, often employed in cases of conflict-driven ethical walls, restrict specified users from accessing information available to all other users. Inclusionary Walls, often employed for client confidential matters or in response to protective orders, only allow specified users to access defined information, preventing general access.

Real-Time Access Controls, Extending Beyond the DM

Wall Builder is the only access control solution that delivers immediate enforcement across a variety of key legal applications where sensitive information is stored. It instantly enforces newly-created or modified wall definitions and reacts immediately to changes at the local application level such as the creation of a new document or the addition of a record. It can interface with applications including:

• Document Management: Interwoven, Open Text/Hummingbird
• Financial Applications: Thomson Elite, Aderant/CMS
• CRM: Lexis InterAction
• Records Management: Open Text LegalKEY, CA FileSurf, Elite Records Manager, Interwoven RM, Accutrac
• Time and Billing: Elite WebView
• Enterprise Search: Recommind
• Portals: Microsoft SharePoint

Self-Maintaining Walls Update Automatically

As the only solution that automatically updates security definitions in response to user activity across applications, Wall Builder prevents wall definitions from falling out of date. For example, if an ethical wall has been established between two matters for adverse clients and a new attorney checks out a document or bills time against the first matter, Wall Builder can automatically revise the security definition and block the timekeeper's access to materials associated with the second matter. Additionally, if someone mistakenly attempts to give a user access to restricted information, the system immediately repairs the wall and notifies relevant parties via email.

Extensive Logging, Audit and Reporting Tools

Wall Builder logs all significant actions including wall creation, wall modification and user membership. Administrators can easily create custom reports that roll up key information and historical records about access controls and activity within their environment. These reports can be easily exported for manipulation and presentation in external applications such as Microsoft Excel.
