IT Security for Legal

Regardless of specialisation, legal firms store vast quantities of sensitive data. From personally identifiable information (PII), to contract and banking details, through to witness statements, the information critical to your cases will be of interest to professional thieves.

But as hacking attacks become more sophisticated, many legal firms are struggling to stay ahead of the criminals. Organised criminal gangs are targeting legal firms to acquire vital information they can use as a springboard against other organisations like banks.

Regular penetration testing and security audits will help to protect your clients and business against these threats. By partnering with Fidus we can help you identify and manage vulnerabilities including:
• Penetration testing to reveal weaknesses in security systems.
• Security and permissions audits that uncover exploitable misconfigurations.
• Physical security assessments to check protection of your office and data centre.
• Social engineering tests to ensure your staff are ready to head of person-to-person attacks.
• Phishing email testing to check malware-infected emails are dealt with safely.
• Full red team cyberattack simulation to test how your legal would manage a co-ordinated cyberattack.
• Cyberattack response readiness check to confirm you ready to deal with all eventualities.

At the end of every test our consultants will supply you with a plain English report. In it we detail our findings and recommendations for improving IT security. And we’re always happy to help implement those suggestions.
