We solve the technology problems that keep partners up at night: protecting client data, satisfying your insurer, and using AI the way your clients and your profession expect. And when you call, a real person answers.
nicwerks® is a Los Angeles managed IT, cybersecurity, vCISO, and AI governance firm for law firms, CPA and financial firms, and entertainment and creative companies, serving the city since 1999.
Partners and executives don't call us for more technology. They call about a problem. Here's what we hear most, and what changes once it's ours to handle.
We find what's in use, write your AI policy, and set up approved tools that keep client data private. The result: AI you can defend to a client, a carrier, or the bar.
Start with a shadow AI review →We put the controls your carrier asks about in place, then answer the application with evidence behind every box. You renew with answers you can stand behind.
The controls carriers ask for →We complete it, close the gaps it uncovers, and keep your documentation current for the next one. The engagement moves forward instead of stalling in their security review.
How we handle compliance →Email protection, secure sign-ins, a 24/7 security operations center watching every device, and backups we actually test. Threats get caught early and contained fast.
If it already happened →A real, local engineer answers, with a 15-minute average response during business hours. Your people get back to billable work.
How our support works →A part-time security leader for your firm: a written roadmap, plain-English policies, and a monthly check-in with leadership. Security gets decided on purpose, not by accident.
What a vCISO does →Thirty minutes with a real security leader, a plain-English read on where your firm stands, and a clear next step. No obligation.
Book a free assessment →Three kinds of firms, three different sets of duties. We know each one from the inside, and we've worked alongside them since 1999.
Your confidentiality and competence duties now reach your technology and your AI. We handle the technical side, answer client security questionnaires, and work with your ethics counsel. Trusted by LA firms, entertainment law included, for 25 years.
A written security plan that satisfies the FTC Safeguards Rule, defenses against wire fraud, systems that hold up in April, and a safe way to use AI on client returns.
Casting, production, management, and PR teams get secure media workflows, protected talent and client data, AI guardrails for scripts and cuts, and support at production speed.
Your clients expect you to use AI. Your ethics rules, your insurer, and your confidentiality agreements expect you to control it. We help you do both: a written policy, approved tools, trained staff, and records that show a person checks the work. We handle the technical side; your ethics counsel decides.
Find out which AI tools your people already use, what client data has gone into them, and what to fix first.
One full day onsite with your leadership: a shadow AI review first, then your AI policy, approved tools and a working first version of one real workflow.
See the workshop →Ongoing oversight as the tools change: vendor reviews, staff training, supervision records, and AI answers ready for your insurer and your clients.
