Leading legal directories consultancy and copywriting agency ELE has achieved Cyber Essentials Plus certification, setting a new standard for security in legal directories consultancy
Cyber Essentials Plus is the highest level of the UK government-backed Cyber Essentials scheme. As the only dedicated legal directories agency to hold this accreditation, ELE is reinforcing its commitment to rigorous and independently verified cyber security.
Cyber Essentials Plus involves a detailed technical assessment carried out by qualified specialists. It includes vulnerability testing, configuration reviews, and internal and external scans designed to confirm that an organisation’s defences work in practice. Achieving this certification demonstrates that ELE’s systems, devices and processes meet a recognised benchmark for cyber resilience.
For law firms and chambers, this assurance matters. Legal directory submissions contain sensitive information about clients, matters and strategy. By securing Cyber Essentials Plus, ELE provides verified proof that it handles this material with the highest level of care and scrutiny.
Recognised across the UK and trusted by the public sector, Cyber Essentials Plus is widely adopted by organisations responsible for sensitive data.
ELE Founder and CEO, Helen Foord, told The Professionals: “Security often comes up in conversations with firms and chambers. And it should. Directory submissions carry information that deserves careful handling.
“We’re proud to be the only legal directories agency currently with Cyber Essentials Plus certification and to have been externally verified as an agency that looks after its clients’ data. But we’re not stopping here. We’ve turned our attention to going significantly further and achieving ISO 27001, which is the world’s best-known standard for information security management systems. For us it’s not just about being experts at legal directories and copywriting. We’re setting the standard for security in legal directories consultancy.”
ELE’s certification strengthens the confidence that firms and chambers place in its approach and reflects the company’s ongoing focus on responsibility, professionalism and trust.
