The cyber threat to the UK legal sector has grown substantially in recent years. Law firms are particularly attractive targets for cyber-attacks due to the level of highly sensitive data they hold, and the authority they often possess to manage large transactions on behalf of their clients. As it has become increasingly difficult to insure against cyber-risk, cyber security spend within the industry continues to grow annually.
Our cyber security services are specifically designed to help law firms stay ahead of these threats and maintain the security of their systems. We offer a range of services including employee training, security penetration testing, and compliance frameworks to ensure that law firms are adequately protected.
Protecting personal data is of critical importance in the legal sector. This is because the legal profession handles a wide range of sensitive information, including client confidences, financial records, and personal identification documents. The unauthorised access, use, or disclosure of this information could have serious consequences for clients, including financial losses and damage to their reputation.
Training personnel in good cybersecurity practices is of critical importance in the legal sector. This is because the legal profession handles a wide range of sensitive information, including client confidences, financial records, and personal identification documents. The unauthorised access, use, or disclosure of this information could have serious consequences for clients, including financial losses and damage to their reputation.
The legal sector is subject to strict regulations that govern the handling and protection of personal data, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Nis- directive (ISO27001). Managing security risk helps to ensure that legal firms are compliant with these regulations and are taking appropriate measures to protect personal data.
Social Engineering is the use of psychological manipulation to influence individuals to disclose sensitive information or perform actions that may not be in their best interest. It is a common tactic used by cybercriminals to gain access to systems and data, and it can be particularly effective in the legal sector due to the high levels of trust that clients place in legal firms.
