It’s time for you to start taking security seriously… or it could start costing you in a big way!

Tuckers Solicitors has recently been fined £98,000 for failing to adequately protect its customers data. According to The Law Society Gazette: “The ICO made clear that while primary culpability for the incident rested with the attacker, the firm had given them a ‘weakness to exploit’ and was responsible for the protection of personal data. The firm had not used multi-factor authentication for remote access to its systems, despite this being recommended since 2018.”

MFA is so easy to set up and, whilst it may be a minor irritant, using it makes it vastly more difficult for attackers to get into your accounts. 96% of all cyber attacks begin with a phishing email, but with MFA enabled on your email account, you make it much more difficult for the attackers to get in to your accounts.

Often adding MFA to your services is free. Speak to Techrelate or give me a shout and we can audit your systems to ensure you’re making use of any extra security features you already have and we can make recommendations to tighten security on your precious company and client data.
