Texas law firms continue to face pressure to show that cybersecurity controls are not only written down, but actually operating.
For SB 2610 readiness, documentation should connect policies to evidence. A policy says what the firm expects. Evidence shows the firm followed through.
Practical evidence to keep current
Firms should maintain dated records for:
- Multi-factor authentication coverage
- Backup and restoration tests
- Endpoint protection status
- Vendor reviews and contracts
- Security awareness training
- Access reviews and offboarding records
If your firm has added a new system, vendor, office, or major workflow, treat that as a trigger to review your cybersecurity documentation.
For a deeper walkthrough, read How to Document Your Cybersecurity Program for SB 2610. Use the law firm cybersecurity audit checklist to verify controls before you document them.
SB 2610 may help limit exemplary damages for eligible businesses that maintain a documented cybersecurity program; not legal advice or a guarantee.
