All businesses are at risk of cyber attacks but did you know that 65% of law firms in the UK have been a victim of a cyber incident in 2022 alone?

Law firms are often attractive targets for cyber criminals, due to the large volume of confidential and sensitive information they handle on a daily basis. Building a stable foundation of cyber security knowledge and techniques to follow and implement is a great way to create a safer environment for your data.

Cyber Essentials is a certification first developed in 2014 by the National Cyber Security Centre as a requirement for all public and private sector organisations who do business with the Nuclear, Health, Education and Defence sectors. A set of foundation level technical controls across 5 major areas, the certification has been designed to protect against the most common online security threats faced by UK businesses.

Cyber Security Partners has created this useful guide specifically for the legal sector, which includes 9 top tips for reviewing your cyber security posture and moving towards achieving Cyber Essentials certification.
