IT Infrastructure That Protects What Matters Most: Client Confidentiality
Secure, compliant IT services built for London law firms managing sensitive cases, strict regulatory requirements, and demanding client expectations.
Why London Law Firms Choose Nerdster
Legal practice depends on confidentiality. Every client file, every privileged communication, every case document represents a trust relationship that your firm is legally and ethically obligated to protect. When your IT infrastructure fails to uphold that obligation, the consequences go beyond fines — they strike at the foundation of your practice.
Nerdster provides IT support for law firms in London that treats confidentiality and compliance as the starting point, not an afterthought. We understand the regulatory landscape you operate in, the systems your solicitors depend on, and the threats your firm faces every day.
The Cyber Threat Landscape for Law Firms
Law firms have become priority targets for cybercriminals. Research consistently shows that over 65% of UK law firms have been targeted by cyber attacks, with ransomware and business email compromise leading the threat landscape in 2025-2026. The reason is straightforward: law firms hold extraordinarily sensitive data and often have IT security that lags behind the financial services sector.
Ransomware gangs specifically target firms during critical case periods, knowing the pressure to pay is highest when client deadlines are at stake. Business email compromise schemes exploit the trust inherent in solicitor-client relationships to redirect funds or extract confidential information.
Nerdster addresses these threats with a multi-layered security architecture: endpoint detection and response, advanced email filtering, network segmentation, immutable backups, and incident response planning. We protect your firm proactively and ensure rapid recovery if an incident occurs.
SRA Compliance and Certification
The SRA Standards and Regulations place clear obligations on law firms to protect client information and maintain appropriate technology controls. Meeting these requirements — alongside Lexcel accreditation and Cyber Essentials Plus certification — demands ongoing attention to your technology environment, not a one-time audit.
We build compliance into your infrastructure from the ground up. Access controls, encryption, monitoring, and documentation are configured to meet SRA expectations and maintained continuously. When your compliance officer or an external auditor needs evidence, it is ready.
Document Management That Works for Your Practice
Your document management system is the operational backbone of your firm. Whether you use iManage, NetDocuments, or a SharePoint-based solution, it needs to be fast, reliable, properly integrated, and rigorously secured.
We manage every aspect of your DMS — deployment, migration, integration with practice management and accounting systems, permissions configuration, ethical wall implementation, and ongoing optimisation. Your solicitors get the seamless document access they need, and your compliance team gets the audit trails and information barriers they require.
Email Encryption and Secure Communications
Client communications often contain the most sensitive information your firm handles. Policy-based email encryption ensures that privileged communications are protected automatically, without relying on individual solicitors to remember to encrypt each message.
We integrate encryption with your DMS and practice management systems, creating a seamless workflow where security is embedded into daily operations. Regulatory archiving requirements are met automatically, and your team can communicate with confidence.
Technology That Supports Legal Excellence
Your solicitors should be focused on client matters, not technology problems. Our proactive management approach means issues are resolved before they impact productivity, systems are updated without disruption, and your technology environment evolves alongside your practice.
When your firm needs IT support that understands legal workflows, regulatory requirements, and the value of client trust, Nerdster delivers.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do you help with SRA compliance?
We build and maintain technology infrastructure that aligns with SRA Standards and Regulations, particularly around information security, client confidentiality, and data protection. Our frameworks support Lexcel accreditation and Cyber Essentials Plus certification with continuous monitoring and audit-ready evidence.

We have deep experience with iManage Work, NetDocuments, and SharePoint-based legal DMS deployments. We handle implementation, migration, integration with practice management systems, and ongoing management including permissions, ethical walls, and version control.
How do you protect against ransomware?
Law firms are disproportionately targeted by ransomware gangs because of the sensitivity and value of client data. We implement immutable backups, endpoint detection and response, advanced email filtering, network segmentation, and comprehensive incident response plans. If an attack occurs, we can restore operations quickly while preserving forensic evidence.
Can you implement ethical walls and information barriers?
Yes. We configure information barriers across your DMS, email, and collaboration platforms to prevent conflicts of interest. Access controls are enforced at the document, folder, and matter level with full audit logging for compliance evidence.
Do you support remote and hybrid working for solicitors?
