Members will have all experienced the fallout from the now much-publicised Legal Aid Agency data breach. This bulletin is not about allocating blame. These sorts of cyber incidents are becoming part of every day life. Members are encouraged to protect their own IT infrastructure and client data. https://www.ncsc.gov.uk has some excellent resources that are freely available, and bidders for the new Crime Contract will be aware of the need to obtain Cyber Essentials, but these are the minimum expected and no system is impenetrable. We do however hope the LAA will remember their own experiences next time they are notified by a provider that they have been a victim of a cyber incident!
