Information security

 

The protection of information has always been of high importance within LCP, both client data and our internal LCP data – both physical and digital.

Our certification in ISO/IEC 27001:2013 and Cyber Essentials Plus demonstrates best practice in information security, which is important to our clients and future clients. 

ISO 27001:2013
