What is LOCS:23?

LOCS:23 is a privacy certification designed for legal service providers who handle personal data. Developed in collaboration with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), it offers a clear and auditable route to demonstrate compliance with UK GDPR.

ADISA is proud to be a UKAS-accredited certification body for LOCS:23, helping both data controllers and data processors in the legal sector meet the highest standards in data privacy.

What is UKAS Accredited and ICO approved?

A scheme approved by the Information Commissioner’s Office as meeting the criteria for UK GDPR privacy certification. Find out more on the ICO website.

LOCS:23 is specifically tailored to UK GDPR and formally approved by the ICO as an official UK GDPR certification scheme. ADISA Certification – the official certification body – is UKAS-accredited to audit this standard. In effect, any data processor or data controller certified under LOCS:23 has undergone an independent audit process that aligns with the UK GDPR’s accountability requirements. Certified companies can document “sufficient guarantees” of security to their data-controller clients, showing that data protection has been built into every step of handling sensitive client data.
