Cyber Security is the biggest technical issue facing legal firms today, with £11 million of client money stolen last year.
Cyber Essential’s is a UK Government backed cyber certification scheme which helps guard against 88% of known cyber-attacks. To support the importance of Cyber Essentials for law firms, the Law Society, in last years updated to Lexcel 6.1, now recommends that all law firms should be Cyber Essentials certified.
By getting Cyber Essentials certified, your practice can demonstrate to clients, suppliers and other stakeholders that you are taking effective measures to secure client data and funds.
How can cyber essentials help your law firm?
– Supports your Lexcel certification;
– Promotes good cyber security hygiene;
– Reassures clients that you are taking cyber security seriously;
– Improves your firm’s reputation.
How do I get Cyber Essentials certified?
At the most basic level, Cyber Essentials is a questionnaire that requires you to provide evidence that you are compliant against the 5 controls of Cyber Essentials.
Due to the technical nature of the controls, only a person familiar with the scheme should consider completing it.
