Cyber security for law firms, accountants and professional services

Your clients trust you with their money and their confidential information. We help you protect both, and give you the evidence clients, insurers and tenders ask for.

Sound familiar?

What professional services firms usually call us about

Email and payment diversion fraud

Criminals target firms that handle client money, taking over or imitating email accounts to change bank details on invoices and completions.

Clients and insurers want proof

Client due diligence questionnaires and insurers now ask about MFA, backups, patching and staff training. We give you the evidence to answer them.

Confidential client data

A breach of client information can mean reporting to the ICO, notifying clients and lasting damage to your reputation.

Tenders that require Cyber Essentials

Many public sector and corporate contracts ask for Cyber Essentials, and some for Cyber Essentials Plus, before you can bid.

Questions

Professional services FAQs

We're a small firm with no IT team. Can you still help?
Yes. We guide you through Cyber Essentials in plain English, and if an IT company looks after you, we work alongside them. See how we work with you.
Is cyber insurance included with Cyber Essentials?
UK organisations with a turnover under £20 million that certify their whole organisation can opt in to £25,000 of cyber liability insurance at no extra cost for 12 months.
Can you test whether our staff would fall for a phishing email?
Yes. Our phishing simulations send realistic test emails, show who clicked and give those staff short training, so you can see improvement over time.
How do we stop email account takeover?
MFA on every account is the single biggest step. Our Microsoft 365 security audit checks your settings, and Microsoft 365 MDR watches for suspicious sign-ins and mailbox rules around the clock.
