What our participants are saying:

In 2020 the Legal Practitioners’ Liability Committee recommended that Cyber Risk for Law Firms be completed by all lawyers and support staff at each of its insured law practices. Since then our course Cyber Risk for Conveyancers has also been endorsed the Australian Institute of Conveyancers (NSW, Vic and WA divisions.) More than 3,500 business professionals have completed our online training courses, and of those nearly 3,000 have completed our course satisfaction survey with 98% saying the course increased their understanding of cyber risk.

  • “It's great that CPD is not just about the law anymore but more about how current events affect practice.”

  • “…all lawyers [should] have to do this as part of renewing practising certificate.”

  • “As a member of support staff, it was an excellent course and should be mandatory for all law firm employees.”

“There is no silver bullet when it comes to mitigating cyber risk, as you will find out when you do the course. But this course will give you a strong foundation to start building good cyber hygiene practices into your business, and perhaps even your personal life.”

David Willett - Chief Information Security Officer, PEXA
