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

A single cyberattack on one of the UK's immigration law firms could expose passports, visa applications and biometric records, 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 immigration law firms are targeted: Immigration practices store passports, biometric data and employer sponsor details, making them gold mines for identity fraud gangs.
