How Secure is Your Law Firm’s IT? Here’s How to Measure It
Ensuring robust IT security can be challenging, especially for law firms where sensitive data protection is critical but expertise in complex security frameworks may not be readily available. For many firms, it’s difficult to gauge how secure their systems are, or know if additional investments in security are necessary.
That’s where tools like Microsoft’s Secure Score can make a meaningful difference. Integrated into Microsoft 365, Secure Score is a measurement system that provides clear insights into your organisation’s current security posture.
What is Secure Score?
Think of Secure Score as your IT security benchmark. It reviews your firm’s security settings, user behaviours, and organisational policies, then gives you a score based on the strength of your current protections. This score helps you identify areas where you’re doing well, along with areas that could benefit from additional safeguards. A higher score means stronger security measures in place.
Microsoft reports that smaller firms with around 40 users tend to achieve a Secure Score of just under 50. This score reflects common gaps in small business security configurations – often related to advanced protections or comprehensive user policies.
