Why Law Firms Are Under Increasing Scrutiny

Law firms are high-value targets due to the sensitive client, litigation, and M&A data they hold. A breach can destroy client trust and lead to findings of professional misconduct.

Data Breach Liability

Elevated risk of legal action from compromised client data.

Insurance Issues

Potential loss or reduction of cyber insurance coverage.

Client Complaints

Loss of clients and reputational damage.

Regulatory Action

Findings of unsatisfactory professional conduct (UPC) or professional misconduct (PM).

Understanding Your  Obligations

Navigating Mandatory Cybersecurity Requirements

A nationwide trend is formalising cybersecurity as a professional duty. The VLSBC in Victoria has set a new benchmark, making ACSC Essential Eight Maturity Level 1 mandatory. This is directly linked to your professional obligations:

Key obligations include:

VLSBC Minimum Expectations: Mandatory adherence to controls like MFA and encrypted backups

Privacy Act 1988 (APP 11): Ensuring the security of personal information

ASCR Rule 4.1.3: The duty to act competently and diligently

ASCR Rule 9.1: The duty of client confidentiality
