The importance of cyber security for legal firms

Cyber attacks make up 75% of all reported crimes in the UK. These figures are from the Solicitors Regulation Authority UK, which regulates more than 125,000 solicitors nationwide.

Legal firms are subject to heavy regulation in the industry and must adhere to strict cybersecurity measures. This means that any organisation working in the legal sector must be aware of its responsibilities under existing regulations and prepared to face any new cyber threats or challenges that may arise.

Unique Cyber Security Challenges in the Legal Sector

Data Sensitivity and Confidentiality Requirements

Law firms must secure digital and physical documents, restrict access to sensitive data, and comply with regulations.

Remote Work and Mobile Devices

Remote work increases data breach risk. Law firms must secure remote devices and monitor access.

Regulatory Compliance

Law firms must comply with data protection regulations and disclose cyber security policies to clients.

Our Engagement Approach

The very first step as a penetration testing provider remains our quest to gain insight into drivers, business operations, pain points and relevant nuances. As part of this process, we understand the assets that are part of the scope.

It is important to gain grips with the reality, therefore, we always stress on walkthroughs or technical documentation of the assets. After asset walkthroughs, a tailored proposal is designed to meet your business’ specific requirements.

Cyphere’s approach to cyber security involves excellent communication before and during the execution phase. Customer communication medium and frequency are mutually agreed, and relevant parties are kept updated throughout the engagement duration.

Execution phase is followed by data analysis and reporting phase. Cyphere performs analysis on the testing output, evaluates the risk impact and likelihood of exploitation in realistic scenarios before providing action plans to remediate the identified risks.

As part of our engagement process, customers schedule a free of charge debrief with management and technical teams. This session involves remediation plan, assessment QA to ensure that customer contacts are up to date in the language they understand.
