Complains and Arguments

According to the contract between the Security Company and Jenner and Block firm, it is very clear that the contract has been breached. The security contractor firm was to ensure that the firm's critical data was safe from anonymous individuals whose aim is to tarnish the name of the company. The security company failed catastrophically since an anonymous group hacked the Website of the organization and copied thousands of emails of the organization some of which were proprietary and embarrassing information and then posted them online. The breach of data was very critical and cleaning up the mess created can take a very long period (Hutchins & Caiola, 2007).

The Security Company was supposed to be keen and alert when it came to the firm's data to prevent any breach. It was their duty to prevent such a breach of data. The security company was not keen hence endangered the company's name and reputation and therefore the right people and a team could be used to advise on how to monitor the employees and critical data (Hutchins & Caiola, 2007). The Contractor was also to ensure that bullying and threats were rare in the firm but so far threats were common and the rate of threats was high before critical documents were displayed online

According to the Security Company, the hack occurred too fast that it was unnoticeable and the devices used during the hack were of high technology than the ones that exist in the firm. According to the attorney, the case was in favor of the plaintiff that is the Organization because the provisions of the contract were not met by the security company. The security company failed in its duty in ensuring that there is no internet data breach that might occur.
