Cyber insurance
We recently published revised and updated guidance outlining how firms can cover costs and losses in the event of cyber attacks.
Law Society president I. Stephanie Boyce tells Today’s Family Lawyer: “Protection and prevention should be a firm’s priorities to guard against damaging cyber attacks. Insurance is not a substitute for good protection, but an additional safeguard to cover certain costs and losses in the event of a cyber attack.
“It’s not a strict regulatory requirement for solicitors to purchase cyber insurance, but it’s a sensible precaution. Failure to purchase such cover may conflict with solicitors’ regulatory responsibility to have ‘adequate and appropriate insurance,’ or leave them exposed to regulatory action for data breaches.”
