Bristows implemented Pentera to validate that its ransomware protections and security policies are fully enforced across its systems. The platform enables on-demand ransomware simulations and continuous testing without relying on external consultants. Within weeks of deployment, the firm gained stronger resilience and greater confidence in its day-to-day security posture.

Philip Wood, IT Director at Bristows, a full-service law firm specializing in technology and life sciences, explains how Pentera provides continuous validation and peace of mind in a high-trust legal environment.

Given the firm’s reputation and sensitive client base, ensuring that security policies are properly enforced across systems was a major challenge. By implementing Pentera, Bristows gained the ability to run ransomware simulations on demand without relying on external testers, allowing the team to validate that protections are effective even after system changes. The platform enables ongoing confirmation that policies are properly distributed and enforced across the application landscape.

Pentera was deployed quickly, delivering actionable results within two weeks and becoming part of daily security operations. As a result, Bristows strengthened its resilience, improved change validation, and gained confidence that its ransomware defenses are working as intended.
