Supply chains and cyber threats: how your legal practice can manage risk
The supply chain within the UK legal sector may not mirror the traditional models seen in manufacturing or retail, but it still depends on a complex network of upstream and downstream relationships. Let's explore cyber risk within the supply chain and how to mitigate them.
Defending your clients' data
This risk framework outlines how UK law firms can proactively address cyber security vulnerabilities within their extended third-party networks by highlighting three critical focus areas:
- Managing structural risks introduced by under-resourced SME suppliers, legal IT platforms, and outsourced administration services
- Mitigating severe operational disruptions, SRA compliance breaches, and data theft resulting from upstream supplier ransomware attacks
- Mandating strict vendor due diligence, contractual SLAs, and supplier validation via Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001 certifications
