When it comes to cybersecurity, early action makes all the difference—and in early 2025, the Legal Services Corporation of Delaware (LSCD) proved just that. As a non-profit dedicated to delivering essential legal support to low-income families, LSCD didn’t wait for signs of trouble to escalate. After the discovery of a potential breach, LSCD proactively took the necessary steps to secure the data.
Prioritizing both transparency and compliance, LSCD engaged ACTFORE to lead a full-scale breach analysis with the goal of surfacing exposure and delivering a jurisdiction-ready report with speed and precision.
Leveraging its TRACE program, BOXER automation software, CLARITY machine reading engine, and DISCOVER interface, ACTFORE processed the full dataset and delivered a final report in 5 business days, enabling LSCD to act decisively, mitigate risk, and maintain focus on its mission with minimal disruption.
After discovering the potential breach, in which ransomware group Qilin claimed responsibility for the attack and which potentially compromised sensitive data tied to legal casework and personal identifiers across twelve states. LSCD needed clear insight into what data had been exposed, who was affected, and how to respond swiftly and responsibly.
The analysis needed to be handled with care, given the nature of LSCD’s services, to ensure that exposure was accurately identified and that individuals were notified in accordance with regulatory requirements and the organization’s values.
To ensure accuracy, speed, and defensibility, LSCD’s legal counsel—an Am Law 200 firm—turned to ACTFORE to perform a full-scale breach analysis and data mining engagement.
ACTFORE deployed its breach analysis platform inside a secure, air-gapped environment and processed 45,000+ files—nearly 18GB—across a wide range of formats and document types. Powered by pre-trained AI models, proprietary extraction logic, and high-speed automation, the platform surfaced 41 regulated data elements, including Social Security numbers, tax IDs, health records, and digital credentials.
The entire initial scan, indexing, and review were completed in three business days, requiring no remediation or reprocessing.
Working closely with LSCD’s legal counsel, ACTFORE delivered a fully customized, jurisdiction-ready report tailored to the firm’s multi-state notification obligations and internal workflows within five days. This seamless integration eliminated friction, ensured compliance across twelve states, and reduced the burden on LSCD’s team.
