In today’s legal landscape, cyber security for law firms has become more critical than ever. With the rapid advancement of technology and the ongoing battle against malicious actors, a resilient, layered security system is imperative. At HDUK, we offer services to do exactly that for your law firm, keeping your client & company data safe on-premises and in the cloud. 

Law firms handle incredibly sensitive data every single day. Whether personal details, financial records, litigation strategy, or contract information, the nature of the data makes law firms a prime target for cybercrime. Cyber breaches can often lead to financial losses, reputational damage, loss of client trust, and, perhaps most importantly, regulatory penalties or lawsuits.  

Companies have a legal obligation to comply with confidentiality and data protection regulations such as the GDPR, and breaking these rules can incur significant penalties from the government, in addition to the aforementioned negatives. It doesn’t matter whether the breach is due to an internal company failure or an external attack; the firm is responsible for implementing appropriate defensive measures to prevent such events. 

This is where HDUK come in. With our Hosted Service, we offer a scalable, robust system that reduces risk to the highest level. Our 24/7 cyber threat detection system, powered by SOC/SIEM, provides some of the best protection against cyberattacks, detecting threats early and accurately with fewer false alarms. Cloud environments like ours offer enhanced resilience, physical security, redundancy, and disaster recovery that many local systems cannot match. Our system creates multiple backups for all your data, ensuring that no single attack can wipe out any records entirely.  

Our anti-spam and anti-virus email filtering also goes a long way toward strengthening your cyber security. Incredibly simple to install and easy to maintain, we boast a false positive rate of only 0.03%. That’s only 3 in every 10,000 emails that are incorrectly flagged as spam. This system drastically reduces the risk of cyberattacks via phishing, trojans, or malware via email. 

We also use the Next Gen AV and EDR on our local systems and in our cloud environments, we also offer multiple key protections such as multi-factor authentication, top-level encryption, live threat monitoring & detection and regular patching. Our services adhere to all government legislation and ensure your firm is compliant with GDPR. With fast onboarding and flexible scaling, we operate efficiently and effectively. Enable secure remote working for your company with us, and we will have your back.
