Win Bigger Legal Contracts. Remove the Security Barrier.
Law firms handling client money, privileged communications, and property transactions are prime targets — and prime candidates for SRA enforcement. Without Cyber Essentials or ISO 27001, you're locked out of legal aid panels, government frameworks, and enterprise client lists.
The SRA Expects Cyber Resilience. Most Firms Can't Evidence It.
Conveyancing fraud, client data breaches, and SRA Accounts Rules violations aren't just reputational threats — they're existential ones. And regulators are increasingly asking for documented security controls.
Conveyancing Fraud Is Targeting Your Clients
Business email compromise targeting property transactions is the fastest-growing cybercrime affecting UK law firms. A single intercepted transaction can expose your firm to SRA investigation, client claims, and PI insurance consequences.
No Cyber Essentials = Off the Panel List
Legal aid panels, government legal frameworks, and most large corporate clients now mandate Cyber Essentials or ISO 27001 as a supplier requirement. Without certification, your firm doesn't make the shortlist — regardless of your legal expertise.
SRA Fines Have No Upper Limit
The Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal can impose unlimited fines for regulatory breaches including inadequate data security. The SRA expects firms to demonstrate documented, maintained security controls — the same evidence your compliance tracking produces.
The SRA doesn't want excuses. It wants documented evidence of control.

214 Vulnerabilities Found. 65% Remediated in 30 Days.
After a near-miss conveyancing fraud attempt flagged by a vigilant client, the firm's Managing Partner commissioned a full assessment. Our first scan identified 214 unpatched vulnerabilities across their case management system, email infrastructure, and remote working endpoints. Within 30 days, a prioritised remediation programme had resolved 65% — and the remaining roadmap was in place before the next client audit.
"We had no idea how exposed our client accounts were. UrbanIQ gave us clarity and a clear path forward within days — and our PI insurer reduced our premium at renewal."

Cyber Essentials Achieved. Legal Aid Panel Contract Secured.
The practice had been rejected from a regional legal aid panel contract twice — both times citing failure to meet the panel's Cyber Essentials requirement. We scoped, prepared, and submitted their Cyber Essentials application within six weeks, addressing all technical controls that had previously caused failure. The third submission was approved first time. The practice was awarded the panel contract within 90 days.
"We'd been losing out on this contract for two years. UrbanIQ got us certified and on the panel in a single engagement."
