How SMB1001 and Industry Collaboration Are Shaping the Future of Cyber Security for Law Firms
In an era where cyber threats are growing more sophisticated by the day, robust cyber security is crucial for every sector—none more so than the legal profession. Qbit IT Solutions is excited to share a significant development for law practices: the Queensland Law Society (QLS) has officially endorsed SMB1001, a comprehensive cyber security framework, as a practical and effective approach for managing cyber risks, and we expect other states to follow. This endorsement marks a major step forward for law firms seeking confidence and clarity in their business IT and cyber security solutions.
What Is SMB1001—and Why Should Law Firms Care?
SMB1001 is a cyber security framework designed specifically to help small and medium-sized businesses mitigate cyber risks. With QLS’s endorsement, SMB1001 is set to play an instrumental role in assisting law practices to manage cyber threats, meet compliance obligations, and establish a culture of security.
For law firms—particularly those handling sensitive client data and interacting with critical institutions like insurers and courts—the stakes have never been higher. Qbit IT Solutions understands the unique cyber security challenges faced by legal practices, and we’re continually evolving our managed IT services Perth-wide to meet these needs. We’re proud to be both ISO9001 and ISO27001 accredited, demonstrating our commitment to excellence in quality and information security management.
An Industry-Specific Overlay Developed By Experts
What makes this endorsement truly exciting is QLS’s hands-on involvement. QLS is actively collaborating with the creators of SMB1001 to develop an industry-specific overlay tailored to the legal sector. This means controls and guidelines will directly address the very real risks present in legal networks, such as those involving insurers, courts, and essential gateway connections.
