The Law Society’s guidance on cybersecurity for solicitors is clear: law firms are an attractive target, and defending against cyber threats is no longer optional — it is a regulatory, operational, and reputational imperative.
At Cyber Tzar, we agree wholeheartedly. But while the Law Society’s guide rightly highlights the baseline controls — firewalls, antivirus software, encryption, and Cyber Essentials certification — the reality is that many legal practices, particularly small and mid-sized firms, are still vulnerable to breaches, ransomware, and reputational loss because traditional defences don’t go far enough.
Our mission at Cyber Tzar is to go beyond the checkbox and help law firms transform cybersecurity from a static compliance task into a dynamic, ongoing process that actively protects client data, business continuity, and your firm’s professional standing.
🔍 The Problem: Fragmented Controls, Outdated Assumptions
The Law Society guide offers prudent steps — patch your systems, train staff, back up data, consider insurance. Yet even firms that follow these steps are often left exposed by:
-
Incomplete visibility over supplier and IT partner risks
-
Lack of prioritisation based on business impact
-
Manual or outdated vulnerability detection
-
No clear cyber risk score or ongoing monitoring
-
Limited alignment with Lexcel or ISO 27001 in practice
Legal firms, by their nature, handle a vast amount of confidential data across distributed systems, mobile devices, and outsourced IT environments. But cybersecurity isn’t just about protecting endpoints — it’s about understanding your risk posture, managing that risk intelligently, and demonstrating that to clients, regulators, and insurers.
