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

A single cyberattack on one of the UK's legal aid practices could expose vulnerable client records and LAA billing, 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 legal aid practices are targeted: Legal aid firms run on thin margins and legacy IT, yet hold some of the most sensitive data on vulnerable people in the UK.
