Attias & Levy: From Data Breach Accusation to Cyber Essentials Plus
Attias & Levy, Solicitors and Barristers in Gibraltar, came to us facing a data breach accusation. We proved it was unfounded, helped the firm satisfy the Information Commissioner, then deployed SOC in a Box and achieved both Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certification.
A data breach accusation. Regulatory scrutiny.
Attias & Levy, a well-established firm of Solicitors and Barristers in Gibraltar, were confronted with a data breach accusation. The allegation demanded immediate investigation — and even after it was disproved, the firm found themselves under scrutiny from the Information Commissioner.
Data breach accusation
A formal allegation of a data breach was made against the firm. The accusation required urgent, expert investigation to determine whether client data had actually been compromised.
Forensic evidence needed
The firm needed a thorough forensic investigation to either confirm or refute the accusation — and to provide the documentary evidence required by regulators.
Information Commissioner involvement
Even after the breach was disproved, Attias & Levy found themselves on the wrong side of the Information Commissioner — requiring demonstrable security improvements to satisfy the regulator.
Investigate. Protect. Certify.
Cyber Defence conducted a forensic investigation that cleared the firm, then deployed SOC in a Box and guided Attias & Levy through both Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certification.
