We are proud to announce that Pomphreys Solicitors has been awarded Cyber Essentials Certification. This government-backed standard demonstrates our commitment to robust cyber security and the protection of our clients’ data. In today’s digital world, where law firms handle large volumes of sensitive information, strong cyber defences are not optional – they are essential. By achieving certification, we show our clients that their personal, financial, and legal information is safeguarded to the highest standards.
What is Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed accreditation scheme that helps organisations protect against the most common cyber threats. It focuses on five key technical controls:
- Firewalls and secure internet connections
- Secure configuration of systems and devices
- User access control
- Malware protection
- Patch management and software updates
Certification means that Pomphreys’ systems and processes have been independently assessed and meet the recognised standards for cyber security.
Why is Cyber Essentials Important for Law Firms?
Law firms handle some of the most sensitive information imaginable – from financial data and personal details to confidential contracts and Wills. This makes the legal sector a target for cyber criminals. Achieving Cyber Essentials certification:
- Reduces the risk of data breaches and cyber-attacks
- Demonstrates compliance with best practice standards
- Provides reassurance to clients, regulators, and partners
- Helps protect against reputational damage and costly downtime
In short, it’s about safeguarding both our clients and our business.
Benefits for Clients

- Your data is stored and transmitted securely
- Your confidential information is better protected from cyber threats
- We follow recognised best practice for security and risk management
