Are You Protecting Your Firm From Cyber Risk?

Law firms are failing in their efforts to tackle the rising risk of cyber crime.

Even with £millions continuing to be fraudulently redirected, with the associated reputational impact and knock on effect on professional indemnity insurance premiums, most law firms have not implemented even the most basic cyber security measures.

Cyber Essentials is a Government backed accreditation scheme, that protects your organisation, whatever its size against a range of the most common cyber attacks.

Cyber Essentials

Cyber Essentials not only protects against cyber attacks; it allows law firms to demonstrate to their customers that their data is adequately protected, and that they take cyber security seriously. Practising robust cyber security can benefit a firm by creating a unique selling point, thereby enabling business.

Indeed, many tenders, particularly Government contracts, now stipulate Cyber Essentials as part of the vetting process. Can you afford to run the risk of being excluded?
