We maintain high technical and organizational security standards (TOMs) to protect your Personal Data, aligning with ISO 27001 standards and GLEIF requirements.

LEI24’s data processing infrastructure is certified to SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001, and all processing is carried out in compliance with GDPR.

All systems and data storage are hosted within the EU/EEA. When you register or renew an LEI, the details you submit, including the personal data of the authorised representative, remain on infrastructure located and operated inside the EEA. Nothing is transferred to a third country, so no standard contractual clauses or transfer impact assessments are required, and your data stays fully under GDPR and the jurisdiction of European supervisory authorities. Our sub-processors and support access are held to the same infrastructure and certification standard.

Payment processing is handled via Stripe, a PCI DSS Level 1 certified service provider.
