When you choose a law firm, you’re placing a lot of trust in the organisation—not just to handle your legal matter, but to safeguard sensitive personal data. So, it’s worth asking how seriously does that firm take cybersecurity?
At Spire Solicitors LLP, we’re proud to have been awarded the Cyber Essentials + accreditation, demonstrating our continued commitment to robust cyber protections and accountability.
What Cyber Essentials + Means for You as a Client
Whether you’re updating a will, buying property, or resolving a dispute, your solicitor will likely handle confidential information about your finances, identity, and personal circumstances. That information is highly valuable to cybercriminals—and law firms have increasingly become targets.
The Cyber Essentials + accreditation means a law firm has met strict security standardsset by the UK government. It covers key areas like firewalls, secure device settings, software updates, access controls, and protection against viruses and malware. In short, it confirms that the firm is actively guarding against the most common—and damaging—cyber threats.
For clients, this offers peace of mind. You’re trusting your legal team with important parts of your life—Cyber Essentials + helps ensure that trust extends to how your data is stored and protected.
Spire’s Continued Commitment to Cybersecurity
“Spire has passed the independent assessment required to hold this qualification. It’s not a one-time tick-box exercise—it’s an ongoing demonstration of accountability. From internal systems and staff training to practical safeguards, we take a proactive approach to data protection.” says Linda Garrould, Head of IT at Spire Solicitors.
