Critical Security Controls

Ensure your legal firm balances service standards and IT performance with privacy and security legislation.

The Cyber Threat to the UK Legal Sector

National Cyber Security Centre and the Law Society recently released a report advising law firms to ensure they are protected from outside cyber threats. This is a necessity as criminals target organisations like legal firms that hold sensitive client information, handle significant funds, and are key enablers in commercial and business transactions. Legal IT teams must protect systems, users, and client records from hacker aggression.

Keep the focus on client service standards without compromising privacy and security

IT teams have a hard job balancing the continuously increasing demands of the legal sector. Law firm IT teams must ensure that partners, associates, paralegal and clerical staff all have access to the right applications and the right client records when needed, while protecting sensitive client information at all times. They must optimise IT operations to deliver the best value for the firm, support improvements in service standards, and ensure compliance with strict regulations.

Modernise IT to focus on increasing client requirements

The legal sector is a fiercely competitive marketplace. In order to provide excellent client care, legal IT departments must deliver exceptional and timely service. The challenge is daunting given rising client expectations, regulatory requirements, and external security threats.
