Overview

The Requirements

Hill Dickinson LLP handles large volumes of confidential data, financial records, intellectual property and sensitive case information. Like many global law firms, this makes them a prime target for cybercriminals. Maintaining a strong, resilient security posture is essential to protect both their operations and the trust placed in them by clients.

Hill Dickinson LLP was first introduced to CybaVerse through a trusted partner within their network to support their Cyber Essentials audits. Since then, the relationship has grown, with CybaVerse continuing to deliver Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus assessments, alongside onboarding the firm onto the CybaOps platform to provide ongoing visibility and control.

Staying Ahead of Risk, Year-Round

Strengthening Security Posture

Since adopting CybaOps, Hill Dickinson LLP has been able to strengthen its approach to Cyber Essentials preparation, with continuous visibility and control across its internal and external IT environment. The platform enables the team to stay ahead of risk, proactively address issues and operate with confidence throughout the year.

With ongoing support from CybaVerse, the team at Hill Dickinson LLP are able to identify and resolve potential issues well in advance of their Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus assessments, reducing the risk of failure and ensuring a smoother, more controlled certification process.

Hill Dickinson LLP deployed Qualys across their machines, enabling them to accurately identify assets and ensure full visibility when scoping their Cyber Essentials assessments..
