from the app subscribers. The subscribers have to pay a specific amount while asking
legal help, legal advising, hiring lawyers etc. This app will let any subscriber ask the first
legal question free. After that they will have to pay a certain amount for each question.
While hiring any lawyer of arbitrator, subscriber will have to pay a certain percentage to
the app.

videos, digital banners, GIFS etc. in this app. Those organizations will have to pay a
certain amount for different advertisings if they want to advertise in this app (Essay,
2018).
3. Advertising-subscription based revenue model: This will be another revenue model
through which the revenue will be generated. This app will let subscribers pay a certain
amount as “subscription fee”. By doing so, subscribers will be have less encounters with
online advertisings (Essay, 2018)
4. Freemium revenue model: This revenue model is going to be used ahead. The subscribers
who will be able to pay through the “freemium” package will get extra advantages as a
subscriber. Also, subscribers will get to see less advertisements because of this revenue
model.

3. Psychographic segmentation: We will also target people from this segmentation who use
to have different values, beliefs priorities etc.
3.3.2 Revenue generating strategy

of legal needs. The app will try to ensure to help each and every subscriber through every
possible way. As said earlier, we will use fee based revenue model and advertising based
revenue model for the revenue generation of the app. In the case of fee based subscription
revenue model, there will be three ways to generate revenues from the subscribers.
1. Mobile banking: First process is mobile banking. In this process, revenues will be
collected by different mobile banking systems such as Bkash, Ucash, and Rocket etc.
2. Online banking: Another process will be online banking. In this process, revenue will be
collected through different online banking system. Subscribers will be able to pay fee

2. One to Many Market: As we are legal service who provides different type of legal
solution by providing quality information and professional lawyer and arbitrator. People
need to use our app to solve their legal problem
7
which types of lawyer they want to contact. When client have serious problem about law
he/she when try to contact to the lawyer we will notify by our systems and our system
notify ours lawyer and if lawyer think it’s serious case then they can made an
appointment by app or application but it’s decide by our clients and lawyer both party
together but clients need to pay lawyer by application or app in our we also have payment
options .By this our clients and lawyer both time didn’t waste and they can help each
other’s (Appendix 2.0).
4.2 IT Used for Applications and Its Specific Functions
1. Extranet: Legal harbor have to two options one is to client’s login others is to lawyer
login option. Lawyer will log in our app or application using extranet to find out about the
clients inquiries of the problem what they face because of law and they can also check

responsiveness of our sites we will minimize HTTP request using Browser Developer Tool. We
will enable catching to reduce time for repeat visitors to load app or applications. Clients visit
our site; their program can stack the page without expecting to send every one of those HTTP
solicitations to the server. Grip compression with help us to reduce the size of HTTP response
and reduce response time.
9
who live outside of Dhaka, they will be our main target client. Another is, there is no app
competitor in our business. There is so many website but no app about legal consultancy.
2. Weakness: 1st of all it is our online app. So we might lose our client who do not use
internet. Because our client is all age people. Mainly old age people can’t use internet so
that’s why we might lose these segment of client. 2nd is cost. Since we are new company
and our main target to gain revenue through commission. So we might not get so much
revenue through commission if the client don’t take consultancy from lawyer. Only
through commission maintain all cost and get profit will be more challenging for us.
3. Opportunity: Though it is an app business that’s why in our country, we can capture the
whole client segment. Everyone can use our app free. Also there will be our helpline
service through telephone & email. So everyone can communicate with us regarding there
problem.
4. Threats: When client want to take consultancy from lawyer they have to pay that’s why
many client might not take consultancy so we will not get any revenue. Also our app is
based on internet. So our app hampered by hack, get virus or other system threats. For
these we can might loss our revenue & also there will be cost to back our app in app &
protect the app.
3. Power of Supplier: As we are first mover advantage and there is no direct competitor. But
here our supplier is lawyer. They might have so many clients and also their own chamber.
10
So that’s why when we contact with them to work with us they might can charge higher
prices than their regular prices. So when we add our commission with their charges it can
be excessively high prices.
4. Threats of Substitutes: Substitutes services can be the threats for any company. As we are
the new company and only one in the country who provide legal consultancy through app.
That’s why the threats of substitutes is nonexistence. So we have more power to increase
our prices to make profitability and lock in favorable terms.
5. Competitive Rivalry: In our country, we are the first mover advantage. Because till now,
there is no direct competitor in the market
Remedy of Threats: In our country we are the only one who come up with these service in the
app market. So we will make patent that’s why no one can copy our feature. Continuously, we
will update our feature so that if any competitor arise we can know about them. We will give so
many discount and incentive to our both lawyer and clients so that we can holding out our lawyer
and clients. We still have a helpline so that if any one stack in problem they can contact with us.
We will take feedback from our both lawyer and client so that we can know how we can improve
day by day.

6.0 Information Security System
Consumers want to work with companies which conduct business in a way they trust and respect.
For e-commerce business, there is already lack of a personal touch, so without adequate IT
security people might not trust the business. Without the implementation of proper security
protocols, online business put itself and also their customers at risk for payment fraud, data
breaches etc. More often smaller business faces the biggest threat from cyber-criminals because
of insufficient Internet Security.
12
4. Insider Attack: An insider attack is a malicious attack on a network or computer system
by a person who has access to the system. Inside attackers have advantage over external
attackers because they have system access and they are also familiar with network
security and system policies/procedures. In addition, often there is less security against
insider attacks because many organizations focus on protection from external attacks.
5. Identity fraud/Theft: The main purpose of identity fraud/theft is to use another person’s
personal data for illegal financial benefit. For example information in social security
number, driver’s license, credit card numbers, and usernames/passwords can be used
obtain credit, merchandise and services in the name of the victim, or to provide the thief
with false credentials
Malicious codes can affect business on daily business. It can disrupt IT and computer process
and can also steal, delete and hold to ransom valuable business and personal data. There will be
loss of trust among existing consumer and potential consumers might not feel safe to download
our app. Malicious attack can also breakdown the entire business network infrastructure. Besides
accessing sensitive information it can also control all application executing on user’s device
(Vercode).

6.3 Security Management
Therefore it is very important to take steps to prevent. Our business needs to implement proper
safeguards. Encryption can reduce the overall cost of data breach. By sender and receiver,
Encryption transforms data can be cipher text readable. It also secures stored information and
information transmission. Firewall can act as first line of defense against security threat,
.Antivirus software should be installed, and they need to be updated. Virtual server proxy server
and authentication procedure should be introduced to ensure IT security.
First the business needs to identify cyber security risk to the data. The company should always be
ready to respond properly when there is breach of data. Company also needs a response plan so
that everyone knows what to do in the event of IT. It needs to develop a security policy. It should
also have the ability to recover data and system that were stolen during data breach. Developing
a proper implantation plan is very important so that business can continue its operation as soon
as possible. Network security audits are important because they help business identify their
biggest security. “One-and-done” can’t be a network security audit solution. The company needs
to carry out risk assessment every year to identify IT risks (Velez, 2019).
