MDR Cyber

MDR Cyber is the cyber security and investigations practice within Mishcon de Reya. Our team is made up of cyber and investigations specialists who work alongside our legal teams to provide a comprehensive and responsive client service.

Our practice works with clients to support them in the prevention of cyber-crime and the management of sophisticated and often complex cyber-attacks. We help tackle cyber-crime, protecting our clients from cyber-attacks and helping them find digital information that supports their needs.

We have extensive experience of working on cyber security issues with a range of organisations, from large and complex global entities to mid-sized or small firms, start-ups and private individuals. We help our clients implement the cyber security they need to address their threats, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. If an incident occurs, we use our expertise and experience to help clients manage the technological, legal and reputational risks.

Offering a wider breadth of service and a broader range of solutions than traditional investigators, our team combines cutting edge cyber intelligence skills with innovative investigative techniques, understanding the legal requirement to gather facts and evidence properly, safely and ethically.

We assess every investigation to ensure it meets our ethical and quality standards, as well as using a robust review process.
