LOCS:23 Support

Book Free Consultation ›

Supporting legal service providers to strengthen operational privacy governance and gain a competitive edge through compliance.

LOCS:23 is the Legal Services Operational Privacy Certification Scheme, developed specifically for legal service providers and aligned with UK GDPR Article 42. It offers a clear and structured way to show accountability, governance, and good practice in handling personal data.

Legal service providers handle some of the most sensitive data in the UK on a very regular basis. Yet many organisations stay exposed to data breaches and compliance gaps that expose serious reputational risks, with the legal sector being one of the most heavily ICO-fined industries.

About LOCS:23

Designed by the legal sector, for the legal sector, LOCS:23 goes beyond theoretical compliance. It helps legal organisations show that data protection is embedded across their operations, from leadership and culture to training, risk management and supplier oversight.

At Evolve North, we work in partnership with a specialist advisor with deep expertise in LOCS:23 to support legal teams in aligning with the scheme. Whether you’re aiming for certification or simply want to meet the standard internally, we’ll guide you through the process in a way that’s practical, proportionate, and built around your firm.
