Press Release 11:28 - 02 December 2024
Elias Neocleous & Co LLC announced its achievement of the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification for Information Security Management.
“This significant accomplishment reflects the firm’s dedication to maintaining rigorous standards for data protection, client confidentiality, and resilience against emerging cyber threats,” it said in a press release.
It is worth noting that this achievement was accomplished entirely through the internal resources and functions of the firm. Its dedicated team worked diligently to ensure the Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability of the firm's digital infrastructure and data. “This approach highlights the firm's strong commitment to leveraging its internal expertise and capabilities to achieve the highest standards of security,” it said.
In today’s digital landscape, where the prevalence and sophistication of cyber threats continue to rise, the importance of safeguarding sensitive information cannot be overstated. The legal profession, entrusted with highly confidential and critical data, must uphold the highest levels of security to mitigate risks and ensure the trust of its clients.
“This milestone solidifies Elias Neocleous & Co LLC’s reputation not only as a leader in the legal sector but also as an innovator in integrating advanced compliance and security protocols into our operations,” it said. “The ISO 27001 certification confirms that the firm’s information security management system has been independently assessed and meets globally recognised best practices. This structured approach ensures that all data, particularly client information, is handled with the utmost care, minimising vulnerabilities while enabling swift and effective responses to potential risks.”
Cybersecurity is no longer an ancillary concern, it is integral to ensuring privacy and protecting the integrity of both client information and professional operations. Through the adoption of ISO 27001 standards, Elias Neocleous & Co LLC said it underscores its commitment to managing risks proactively, implementing robust measures to detect and mitigate threats, and fostering a culture of vigilance across all areas of its operations.
“This certification is more than an accreditation, it is a reflection of the firm’s core principles of integrity, accountability, and confidentiality. In an environment where the legal and regulatory frameworks surrounding data privacy are increasingly stringent, compliance with these standards further demonstrates the firm’s alignment with international best practices and its responsibility to its clients and stakeholders.”
Elias Neocleous & Co LLC views this achievement as part of its ongoing commitment to continuous improvement, particularly in adapting to the challenges of a rapidly evolving digital and regulatory environment. By prioritising information security and privacy, the firm reinforces its role as a trusted partner in safeguarding not only legal interests but also the sensitive information entrusted to its care.
