Professional Services Sector

We provide specific services to all businesses offering professional services, which shares some common risks and challenges:

• Threat landscape: professional and business services are increasingly targeted through similar attack methods currently including business email compromise, phishing and ransomware. The increasing use of Gen AI tools exposes them to a new and still evolving set of risks.
• Similar business models: key characteristics shared by professional services organisations that make them attractive to cybercriminals:
  • High volumes of sensitive client data
  • Trust-based relationships
  • Reliance on email for coordination
  • Multiple third-party integrations
  • Often smaller firms with limited security budgets
• Regulatory commonality: legal and regulatory requirements are often set higher than average due to the nature of personal data and other high-value data being handled.
