The Digital Risk Index · 2026

Take the same interview as our participants and map your score to the index.

The sector average is 43.8 out of 100. But digital risk is rarely where firms expect to find it. It hides in the data you can't trust, the CRM that's still manual, and the AI answer you've never checked.

Book a 30-minute call and we'll map your firm against the sector findings to see where you sit and where you should start fixing first.

Why benchmark

Digital risk rarely sits where you expect it

Across the research, the exposure was almost never the visible activity. It was underneath it. Five places we kept finding it:

Data that can’t be trusted
so the firm can't fully believe its own numbers.
A CRM that’s still manual
so proving what works is slow and patchy.
An attribution gap
that undervalues the work that builds trust early.
Content stuck in the firm
waiting on busy lawyers and a blank page.
An unchecked AI answer
already describing your firm to prospects.
