Compliance in law firms: What actually matters?
This document explains that compliance for law firms has shifted from having written policies to providing verifiable evidence that operational controls actually work in practice.
It dispels common myths, noting that passing audits, storing policy files, and outsourcing IT do not guarantee real protection or remove a firm’s legal accountability. Using regulatory cases like the ICO’s fine against DPP Law and SRA thematic reviews, the paper highlights that compliance failures often stem from a lack of oversight and untested incident response plans. Ultimately, firms are urged to shift focus toward continuous testing, active supplier oversight, and visible leadership to demonstrate true cyber resilience and regulatory compliance.
