Collaborative Conveyancing is pleased to announce that it has successfully achieved the Cyber Essentials Plus certificate swiftly after achieving the prestigious Legal Eye Quality Standard (LEQS) accreditation and Cyber Essentials in 2024.
Collaborative Conveyancing Limited is an award-winning pioneer in conveyancing technology. The flagship product, Enquiry Manager, is an AI-driven tool designed to streamline the conveyancing process by identifying, extracting and producing structured responses to enquiries, thereby enhancing efficiency and reducing administrative burdens for conveyancers.
The UK government-backed scheme, recognised within the conveyancing sector, is an acknowledgement of the high standard of cyber security that helps organisations protect themselves against common cyber-attacks. Collaborative Conveyancing, who provide an enquiry management and tracking tool, achieved Cyber Essentials in May 2024.
The Cyber Essentials scheme sets out five technical controls that can prevent most of the cyber threats that target small and medium-sized businesses. These controls are secure configurations, boundary firewalls, access control, patch management and malware protection.
Cyber Essentials Plus is a higher level of certificate that involves a more rigorous assessment of an organisation’s cyber security practices, requiring an independent IASM Certificate body scheme to audit and verify that an organisation meets these higher standards and test the firm’s resilience against simulated hacking and phishing attacks.

Co-founder and Director, Chris Harris said, “Given our Lawyer Checker background it was imperative that we work towards achieving Cyber Essentials Plus.

We are proud to be a trusted partner to our customers and partners in the conveyancing sector.
