Common Questions

What is conveyancing fraud and how does domain security help?
Conveyancing fraud typically involves an attacker spoofing a law firm's email domain to send clients fraudulent payment instructions at the point of completion. With DMARC p=reject in place, the spoofed emails cannot be delivered to properly configured mail servers, significantly reducing the attack surface.
Does the SRA require DMARC?
The SRA does not mandate specific technical controls, but its cybersecurity guidance for law firms explicitly mentions DMARC as a recommended control. Firms that have suffered client losses through email fraud have faced regulatory scrutiny about the adequacy of their security measures.
Can VP Shield check all our office domains?
Yes — the free scan works on any domain. Scan your primary firm domain, any subdomain used for client communications, and any legacy domains associated with merged firms. Each domain is assessed independently in under two minutes.
