ConnGuard NAC — Enterprise NAC Platform
ConnGuard is an enterprise NAC platform delivering identity-driven Zero Trust access control across hybrid, on-prem and cloud infrastructures.
Grape Law Firm PLLC
Grape Law Firm PLLC is a tech-driven immigration law firm in New York that uses S3M's ConnGuard NAC, EndGuard, and SpotGate to protect privileged client data. Every device is identified and held to policy before it reaches anything, attorney devices are verified before connecting to case files, and visiting clients get connectivity isolated from sensitive systems.
Challenge
Client confidentiality is the foundation of the firm's practice. Its attorneys handle immigration cases involving passports, financial records, and government filings every day, and because the firm builds its own technology in-house, its network carries both privileged case data and an active development environment. There is no version of the business where a compromised network is an acceptable risk.
Solution
ConnGuard identifies and profiles every laptop, phone, printer, and server, holds each to policy before it can reach anything, and segments the case-management environment away from everything that doesn’t strictly need to touch it. EndGuard verifies that every attorney’s device is encrypted, patched, and running the firm's security stack before it connects to case files, in the office or remotely. SpotGate gives visiting clients seamless connectivity that is completely isolated from the systems where their own sensitive files live.
Outcome
An unknown or non-compliant device simply never gets near privileged data. Attorney-client privileged data is protected by device-level access policy, the hybrid attorney workforce is verified by EndGuard before every connection, and the in-house development environment is segmented from production case systems.
“As a law firm, the confidentiality of our clients’ information isn’t a feature of our service — it is the foundation of our practice. Our attorneys handle immigration cases involving passports, financial records, and government filings every single day, and because we build our own technology in-house, our network carries both privileged case data and an active development environment. There is no version of our business where a compromised network is an acceptable risk. ConnGuard changed how we think about access from day one. Every laptop, phone, printer, and server on our network is now identified, profiled, and held to policy before it can reach anything — and our case-management environment is segmented away from everything that doesn’t strictly need to touch it. EndGuard verifies that every attorney’s device is encrypted, patched, and running our security stack before it connects to case files, whether they are working from our office or remotely. And with SpotGate, clients visiting our offices get seamless connectivity that is completely isolated from the systems where their own sensitive files live. For a firm whose entire reputation rests on protecting what clients entrust to us, that level of control isn’t a luxury. With S3M, an unknown or non-compliant device simply never gets near privileged data.”
