Traveling Coaches, the legal industry’s experts at gaining user adoption of technology, today announced that Los Angeles-based Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton LLP selected Traveling Coaches’ OnGuard Security Awareness program to create lasting behavior change in how people use technology.

Launched in January of 2013, the OnGuard Security Awareness Program has gained rapid adoption by law firms looking to create a culture of security.

“Traveling Coaches’ OnGuard Security Awareness Program allows our people to quickly and thoroughly understand that their behaviors have a tremendous impact on the security of our data and protected information,” said Donna Paulson, Chief Information Officer of Sheppard Mullin. “The program takes complex information and distills it down to clear, compelling and concise messages that resonate with our lawyers and staff. And because security is an ongoing concern, our partnership with Traveling Coaches means our security awareness program will remain relevant.”

OnGuard, designed by and for law firms, leverages Traveling Coaches’ expertise in law firm user adoption and change management and incorporates strategic consulting, live awareness events, online content, awareness commercials, posters, emails and reference tools. Sheppard Mullin will receive a steady dose of OnGuard security awareness tools that will be leveraged to create and sustain a heightened level of awareness and education around security risks and best practices.

Traveling Coaches was recently recognized by the International Legal Technology Association (ILTA) with the 2013 Innovative Solution Provider of the Year award for extensive foresight and innovation with the OnGuard Security Awareness Program.

“We were thrilled that our friends at Sheppard Mullin were the first to deploy OnGuard,” said Gina Buser, chief executive officer for Traveling Coaches. “Not only did we meet their immediate needs, together we are creating a sustained culture of security awareness that will substantially improve their ability to protect confidential information.”
