Course description

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, LOCS:23 is likely to become the minimum standard of GDPR compliance expected by clients, government bodies and regulators soon.


Presented by LOCS:23 expert Orlagh Kelly, this virtual classroom seminar will help you understand the core requirements of LOCS:23 and the process required to implement it throughout your firm. It will be of particular benefit to those responsible for GDPR within their organisation.
