Case Study: Ward Hadaway achieves Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation with Pulsant

Pulsant helps top legal firm achieve Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation

Ward Hadaway, a Top 100 UK law firm with offices in Newcastle, Leeds and Manchester, needed to strengthen cyber security and demonstrate compliance to win more public sector work. The firm engaged Pulsant, their long‑standing managed network partner, to help them achieve Cyber Essentials Plus — the government‑endorsed extension of the Cyber Essentials framework.

Pulsant provided the expertise, internal business scanning and on‑site assessment required to achieve Cyber Essentials Plus, delivering a practical framework and hands‑on support throughout the process. As a result, Ward Hadaway gained the Cyber Essentials Plus certification, tightened controls that address around 80% of common cyber threats, increased staff awareness and vigilance, and boosted client confidence — outcomes directly enabled by Pulsant’s guidance.
