The Clauditor
The Mythos Tune-Up
A fifteen-minute structured assessment of your firm’s AI-era security posture.
Founded by a former state and federal civil trial lawyer
The mythos tune-up is The Clauditor’s structured first look at where an estate-planning firm currently sits — with particular attention to the public-facing identity an attacker would target. It is offered to attorneys at firms outside California, in advance of full services beginning July 1, 2026.
Your firm’s mythos is its public-facing identity — bios, headshots, signature blocks, voice recordings, the closing sentences a partner uses in email. These are the materials an attacker studies and reproduces in order to impersonate the firm. The tune-up audits what an attacker can already see, and recommends specific steps to harden it.
How we think about this
Most security advice for small firms starts with what to be afraid of. We start with what’s visible. Your firm’s identity is a public artifact — bios, headshots, signatures, the way a partner closes an email. An attacker reads it the same way a client does. The work is to know what’s there, and to make impersonating you cost more than the return.

Context
Why this exists
The Clauditor exists because the security advice an estate-planning firm needs is not the security advice a Fortune 500 buys. The risks are smaller in scale and far more personal — the impersonation of a partner’s voice in a wire instruction, the cloning of a signature block, the harvesting of a public bio. The framework offered here was built around those risks, inside a small estate practice where it’s run weekly, and is now made available to estate firms across the country.
The Clauditor was founded by a former state and federal civil trial lawyer. Two decades in the courts gave us a working view of where small firms and their clients are most exposed — and what to do about it. Founder bio and professional references are available upon request to qualified prospects.
The fuller analysis is published in the essay “Why Your Firm Is the New Attack Surface” on the state-specific pages, including ohiotrustandlegacy.com and forty-eight other state versions.
