Assurix, a new IT security consulting firm focused on the legal sector, will launch officially on 31 March. The move will follow the launch of a website at www.assurix.co.uk on 14 March.

David Lannin, a spokesman for Assurix, said: “Recently we have seen many players in the legal sector develop considerably in their approach to IT. However, their security solutions have too often been antiquated and vulnerable to attack.”
