Case Study: Burness Paull strengthens cybersecurity and achieves Cyber Essentials certification with Commissum

Extensive Testing on Company-wide IT Project with Minimum Disruption as Trusted Cybersecurity Partner to Burness Paull LLP

Burness Paull LLP, one of Scotland’s leading commercial law firms, needed to strengthen security around a company-wide IT project while keeping day-to-day operations running with minimal disruption. The firm wanted an independent cybersecurity partner to assess its internet-facing IT network and provide assurance for clients and stakeholders that sensitive data would be protected. Commissum was selected to support the engagement with penetration testing and cybersecurity advisory services.

Commissum carried out thorough testing during normal working hours with minimal impact on the business, then delivered clear, user-friendly reports with practical remediation guidance. Burness Paull was able to quickly address the issues identified and later achieved Cyber Essentials certification to further demonstrate its cybersecurity commitment. The successful engagement led to a long-term relationship, with Commissum and Burness Paull continuing to work together for more than five years.
