Cybersecurity for law firms
Safeguard your people, client data and reputation with one platform for Cyber Essentials, device protection, staff training and policy management, built for busy legal practices.
Clients trust you with their most sensitive information and their money. Attackers know it. Protect both, and prove it.
Law firms are at risk
Successful cyberattacks on law firms have risen 77% in the last year alone. Worse still, the legal sector has been named the worst-performing industry for data breaches.
The challenge
Most law firms lack the technical staff or budget for traditional, enterprise-focused cybersecurity solutions.
To avoid reputation-busting breaches, you need a high-impact, low-complexity way to track and monitor security vulnerabilities and ensure compliance.
This is where CyberSmart can help.
How we can help
Meet your compliance obligations
Meet your obligations under the Lexcel Standard and 2025 Crime Contract with a fast, great-value route to Cyber Essentials certification.
Our guided portal explains every question in plain English, our assessors support you until you pass, and resubmissions are unlimited at no extra cost. Less time on compliance. More time on fee-earning work.
Gain year-round protection from cyber threats
Protect your staff, systems and client data with our compliance, assurance and threat detection software.
Active Protect checks every laptop, desktop and phone across your firm, in the office, at court or working from home, and guides staff to fix risks in minutes. Client confidentiality doesn't stop at the office door. Neither does your protection.
Close the gaps with effortless patching
Reduce vulnerabilities by keeping third-party software up to date with new security patches automatically.
Browsers, PDF readers, video calling and productivity apps are updated across Windows and Mac without interrupting fee earners. Patch history for every device gives you a clear record for audits and insurers. Fewer gaps. No chasing.
Give your people the skills to protect your business
Most breaches start with a human mistake.* Our simple, proven cyber awareness training gives your people the skills to protect your clients and your firm.
Short modules and realistic phishing simulations teach staff to spot the scams law firms face most, from fake client emails to changed bank details on completion day. One convincing email can divert completion funds. Training stops it.
Enforce security policy compliance
Distribute security policies across your firm and track who has read and agreed to them.
Start from ready-made templates covering data protection, IT access and security awareness, and see acceptance at a glance for every partner, fee earner and support staff member. When a client, auditor or insurer asks for evidence, it's ready. Policies signed, not just filed.
Access free cyber insurance coverage
All eligible customers receive £25,000 of Cyber Essentials insurance, with options to upgrade through our trusted, FCA-regulated broker.
Uplift to higher limits for a fixed annual cost, or compare discounted bespoke policies from specialist insurers, with fewer application questions. Extra protection for your firm, on top of your professional indemnity cover.
