Tinsdills Solicitors’ have once again successfully achieved their Cyber Essentials Accreditation for the fifth consecutive year. The firm recently put their IT Systems through a gruelling testing process to ensure the highest levels of cyber security are maintained.

Tinsdills are proud advocates of the importance of not only investing in the latest technology to improve the client experience and staffing productivity, but also investing in the upmost protection and training to identify potential cyber-attacks, online scams, and any other online threats.

Jaki Cooke, Head of IT says, ‘Our systems have been rigorously tested to ensure that we meet the highest standard not only on paper but also in practise’

‘Cyber security is one of the biggest risk factors facing not only our business but also the clients that we act for on a daily basis. Achieving this accreditation can only enhance their confidence in our abilities to continuously protect their confidential matters.’

The Cyber Essentials Scheme is a government backed scheme that certifies businesses who have taken the necessary steps to protect themselves against cyber security breaches. The assessment process requires organisations to demonstrate their active measures of protection through the use of “simulated cyber-attacks” and completing an in-depth questionnaire scrutinising its computing resources and security controls.
