Typical Project

Law Firm with 8 Employees and 2 Locations

Situation

A mid-sized law firm in Bern with 8 employees across two locations had no secure connection between offices. Client files were being sent via email, and the WiFi was a simple consumer router with no network separation. A compliance audit had flagged the need for action.

Solution

Digital Runners set up a UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra with site-to-site VPN at each location. Two Switch Pro 24 PoE units supply the wired workstations and 3 U7 Pro access points. Three VLANs separate client, staff and printer networks. A UNAS Pro serves as a local, encrypted file server for client files.

Result

The firm passed its next compliance audit without issues. Both locations are securely connected via VPN, and client files are stored locally on the UNAS Pro. The investment was approximately CHF 5,800 for both locations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does UniFi protect client data in a law firm?
Through VLAN segmentation, the client network is separated from the staff and printer networks. Additionally, WPA3 encryption and a separate guest network ensure sensitive data cannot be intercepted.
Can multiple office locations be securely connected?
Yes. UniFi supports site-to-site VPN, which connects multiple offices via encrypted tunnels over the internet. This allows secure access to shared resources from any location.
Is UniFi suitable for a small firm with 5 employees?
Absolutely. UniFi scales from small offices to large firms. For a small practice, a gateway, a switch and 1–2 access points are often sufficient – professional yet affordable.
How secure is the site-to-site VPN between two office locations?
UniFi uses WireGuard or IPsec for site-to-site VPN -- both are proven, strongly encrypted protocols. The connection is at least as secure as a dedicated leased line, but significantly more cost-effective.
Can the network be maintained without IT expertise?
Yes, no IT expertise is needed for day-to-day operation. Digital Runners handles the initial setup and offers an optional maintenance contract. Minor adjustments such as adding new devices can be done via the intuitive UniFi app.
