What VP Pulse Monitors
Email Security for Law Firms
Conveyancing fraud, invoice fraud, and business email compromise are significant risks for UK law firms. DMARC, SPF, and DKIM monitoring via VP Pulse helps prevent spoofing of your firm's email domain.
SRA Cybersecurity Guidance Alignment
The SRA's cybersecurity guidance for law firms emphasises email security, access controls, and software updates. VP Pulse monitors the technical controls most relevant to SRA guidance.
Client Data Protection
UK law firms handle significant volumes of client confidential data. TLS certificate monitoring ensures all client-facing portals maintain encrypted connections, supporting GDPR compliance.
Domain Impersonation Defence
Fraudsters create lookalike domains impersonating UK law firms to redirect client payments. VP Pulse's domain scan can audit both your firm's domain and suspicious lookalikes.
UK law firms are high-value targets for cybercriminals due to the combination of client funds held in client accounts, confidential information, and the trust relationships between solicitors, clients, and third parties. Email fraud is the primary attack vector β and email authentication monitoring is the primary defence.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What cybersecurity standards apply to UK law firms?
- UK law firms are regulated by the SRA (Solicitors Regulation Authority), which publishes cybersecurity guidance updated periodically. The Law Society also provides cyber risk resources. Many firms pursue Cyber Essentials certification as a baseline, with some larger firms achieving ISO 27001. ICO breach notification requirements apply under UK GDPR.
- How can VP Pulse help a law firm prevent email fraud?
- VP Pulse checks your firm's DMARC policy, SPF record, and DKIM configuration. If your domain lacks p=reject DMARC, anyone can spoof your email address. This is how conveyancing fraud and invoice redirection attacks work. VP Pulse identifies the gaps; VantagePoint Networks can help you close them.
