Law Firm Cybersecurity

A comprehensive assessment how well positioned the firm is.

Ransomware protections on all servers and personal computers.  Software that works independent of your malware protections and looks for behaviour consistent with ransomware.

Best in class malware and email protections.

Staff Training and Testing.  We provide regular online tutorials on what staff need to be aware of.  Users will also receive a quarterly phishing email, to measure how they react to a dangerous message.

A ‘What if?’ Plan. No matter how protected you are, it borders on negligence to assume we have nothing to worry about.  Each legal firm needs a comprehensive Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery process for all systems (even PCs).

Policies and practices appropriate for the environment.  You need to be compliant with Law Society of Scotland regulations and GDPR, and we will make sure you also meet Cyber Essentials criteria.

A Security Operations Centre which monitors your systems 24 hours a day and is ready to respond to any disruptive event.

Penetration Testing, because no matter how many layers of defence and good practice we deploy, we have to view our networks as a hacker would.

You also get an ever-vigilant Cybersecurity partner with decades worth of real-life experience of supporting law firms.

We know what happens when your own clients are hacked during a transaction and how best to respond and assist them.  We have been there when the other side’s solicitor has been hacked, with all the uncertainty that involves.

We know what happens when staff are busy and distracted; there is a lot of learning to share.

Firms who carry out conveyancing work face increasing stringent hurdles to meet lending panel criteria.  Information security policies, compliance standards, such as Cyber Essentials, login and endpoint protection, staff training and testing, network Penetration Testing and Business Continuity Plans are being asked for by panels.
