In February 2024, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) approved an official GDPR certification standard, LOCS:23. This new standard has been specifically developed to ensure law firms, barristers’ chambers and suppliers to the legal sector meet their UK GDPR obligations, and evidence to clients that their data is properly and legally protected.
As a government backed standard LOSC:23 is likely to become the minimum standard of GDPR compliance expected by clients, government bodies and regulators soon.
