What It Is
As cyber threats grow in scale and complexity, businesses are under increasing legal pressure to protect customer data, intellectual property, and sensitive operations. Corporate cybersecurity legal audits assess whether your organization is meeting its legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations related to digital security.
This goes beyond just IT — it’s about legal risk, compliance exposure, and reputation management.
Lexchain’s legal audits review how your cybersecurity practices align with:
Data protection laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA)
Sector-specific regulations (e.g., FINRA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2)
Contractual obligations in vendor, client, or investor agreements
Incident response protocols and breach notification laws
Our audits help businesses prevent legal liability, improve security governance, and prepare for future compliance events.

❓ FAQs
Q: What’s the difference between a technical audit and a legal audit?
A: A technical audit looks at your tools and infrastructure. A legal audit reviews whether your cybersecurity setup meets laws, contracts, and liability protections—the legal layer of your digital security.
Q: Do I need this if I already have IT security policies?
A: Yes. Many organizations have strong tech defenses but still fail to meet breach notification laws, data protection statutes, or contractual obligations—leading to lawsuits or fines.
Q: Is this required by law?
A: In many sectors, yes. Even when not explicitly required, regulators and courts often expect reasonable security measures and documentation. A legal audit strengthens your defense in the event of a breach or complaint.
Q: Will this be shared with anyone?
A: No. Your audit is confidential and protected by attorney-client privilege. You control whether it’s shared with auditors, investors, or regulators.
