Having the right certifications in place is key to demonstrating your business’s commitment to cyber security. 

Richard Reed Solicitors, a specialist law firm based in Sunderland, approached us to assist them in continuing their Cyber Essentials certifications. 

As an established firm providing a comprehensive range of legal services, they recognise the critical importance of demonstrating cyber resilience to protect sensitive client information and uphold their reputation. 

Therefore, the firm decided to renew their Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials+ accreditations as they align with their goals. These government-backed, industry-recognised frameworks help organisations protect themselves against common online threats. 

We worked closely with the Richard Reed team, providing tailored support to simplify the recertification process and address any questions. We ensured the journey was smooth and efficient, equipping them with the tools and knowledge needed to meet the requirements. 

The outcome: Richard Reed Solicitors successfully retained their certifications. This reinforces trust with their clients and stakeholders while their IASME listing further highlights their commitment to protecting their business and clients from cyber threats. 

Beyond this, the certifications underscore their commitment to excellence and enhance their competitive edge in the legal sector. 

In their own words, Richard Reed Solicitors stated:

“We were pleased to work with Net-Defence to ensure our continued Cyber Essentials+ certification.  We wanted someone who would provide a proactive service, simplify the process for us and help us implement any changes we needed to make, in an easy and understandable way.  Net-Defence did not disappoint.”
