TLS 1.3: the secure connection to NEO's website and portal

TLS (Transport Layer Security) encrypts the information sent between your browser and a website, so no one in between can read or change it. TLS 1.3 is the newest version: it is faster to set up and removes older, weaker options.

How NEO's site uses it

• Every page loads over HTTPS. There is no unencrypted version of the site.
• Modern browsers connect using TLS 1.3. Slightly older browsers can use TLS 1.2, which is still considered secure.
• Outdated versions, such as TLS 1.0 and 1.1, are refused.
• Our site tells browsers to always use a secure connection to it in future (a setting called HSTS), which protects against attempts to downgrade the connection.

How to check

Look for the padlock in your browser's address bar and make sure the address is neolegalservices.com. If a page ever shows a security warning, don't enter your details: contact us instead.

Beware of look-alikes

Scammers sometimes copy legal websites. We will never ask for your password by email or text. If in doubt, type our address yourself.
