Your business is a target. Hackers only need one weakness.

A single cyberattack on one of the UK's conveyancing solicitors could expose client deposits, completion funds and ID documents, halt day-to-day operations and trigger regulatory reporting, fines and lasting reputational damage. Small firms are not too small to be targeted. Automated attacks scan every UK business for an easy way in.

Why conveyancing solicitors are targeted: Every residential completion moves tens of thousands of pounds on a predictable timetable, which makes conveyancers the single most targeted group for Friday-afternoon payment fraud in the UK.
