One more address to check before the draft can leave.UK legal sector, ICO reports in 2025.
36.0% of reported legal-sector incidents involved an email sent to the wrong person.
Source and context
346 of 962 incidents in the ICO’s Legal sector, calendar year 2025. Calculated from unique incident/year pairs; repeated rows for different data types count only once.
Reports to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office, not all incidents or an estimate for Austria. The ICO assigns the best-fitting sector and incident type. These figures do not measure Encloq’s effect.
With EncloqOne invitation.
Only the right Michael.
Each matter is one conversation, and you invite the client to it once. After that, nobody types an address again.
One address per invitation
Only an account with that confirmed address can accept it.
The key travels separately
The email carries the link; you pass on the access key another way, for example by phone.
Correctable until accepted
Wrong address? Change or revoke it before it is accepted. Unused, it expires after 30 days.
How invitations work
One clause changed.
Everyone on the same page.
Email attachments multiply. A shared file keeps its versions and the conversation around them together.

A signed read confirmation.
Opening the message signs a confirmation that comes back to you.
Signed read confirmations from Encloq One, signature requests with Pro. Encloq signatures are not qualified electronic signatures and don’t replace written form.
Private by design.
Encloq encrypts file and message content on the device before upload. The service still sees what delivery needs, such as participants, file sizes and times. A data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR is part of our Terms.
