Cyber Security – How safe is your Information?
Cyber Crime is an ever increasing risk to Businesses of all sizes, the Legal sector (like many areas) has been targeted with calls purporting to be from banks, interception of emails between firms and clients and fraudsters even taking on the name / identity of firms themselves.
All businesses should be ever vigilant in their E-commerce activities.
The Federation of Small Businesses has written a paper on “Cyber security and fraud: the impact on small businesses”, their top 10 tips for Online Security are listed as:-
- Implement a combination of security protection solutions (anti-virus, anti-spam, firewall/s)
- Carry out regular security updates on all software and devices
- Implement a resilient password policy (min.eight characters, change regularly)
- Secure your wireless network
- Implement clear and concise procedures for email, internet and mobile devices
- Train staff in good security practices and consider employee background checks
- Implement and test backup plans, information disposal and disaster recovery procedures
- Carry out regular security risk assessments to identify important information and systems
- Carry out regular security testing on your business website
- Check provider credentials and contracts when using cloud services

The Importance of Terms and Conditions
Do you have Terms and Conditions and if so are they incorporated and being used effectively?
These can be an important weapon in your armoury in litigation, but more importantly you can claim interest on your overdue invoices.
If you claim a different interest rate to the statutory rate of 8% above the base rate, let us know.
Any interest you claim can offset the Court fees on issuing proceedings. On higher value claims this could be substantial.

Thank you very much for your recent hair donation. We are truly honoured to receive it.
We receive many cards and letters from families expressing their gratitude and telling us of the huge difference receiving a wig has made to their children’s lives.
In 2015 Little Princess Trust gave away over 850 free real hair wigs to boys and girls across the UK and Ireland. Without your kind support and generosity this would not be possible.
Please find attached a certificate of thanks as a small token of our enormous appreciation.
Kind regards
