ICO legal services certification

On 13 February the ICO approved the Legal Services Operational Privacy Certification Scheme (LOCS) which is designed to “assist legal services providers to demonstrate compliance with UK data protection law.”

The LOCS standard has 34 controls in five core areas:

  • organisational and client file governance
  • client rights
  • operational privacy
  • third party service providers and data sharing
  • monitor and review

Full details on the LOCS standard can be found here.
