We have recently gained Cyber Essentials certification

We are delighted to announce we have gained Cyber Essentials certification, a government-backed scheme designed to help protect companies against the threat of cyber-attack.

As family solicitors, the protection and confidentiality of your personal data is fundamental to our relationship with you, both as a matter of law and ethics. As such, we comply with both UK and EU data protection laws and with the Solicitors Regulation Authority rules on client and data confidentiality.

As part of our commitment to keep your data secure, we have put in place physical, electronic and operational policies and procedures designed to safeguard and secure the information we collect and hold. The Cyber Essentials certification is part of this drive to protect your information.

While many companies feel they are unlikely to be targeted, the Cyber Security Breaches Survey (2019) found that 32% of businesses and 22% of charities had been targeted in the past 12 months.

Cyber-attacks can take the form of malware, ransomware, phishing, password guessing and network attacks. To gain Cyber Essentials certification we have put in place enhanced security features to protect our system and your personal data from the threat posed by hackers. This provides both us and our clients greater peace of mind that we have strengthened our protection against hacking.
