Digital, Privacy & Information Security
Nowadays, the most valuable assets that organizations own are information and personal data. These assets enable them to develop various initiatives and considerable business, so that they are more efficient, faster and better able to adapt to the demands of a hyper-connected and constantly changing society. Less than three decades ago, the personal information and data used by companies to run or develop their business was all stored physically in files. Now, the information passes across a complicated virtual structure that includes information systems, applications, emails, cloud storage services etc.; it is also passed on countless times to third parties. It should also be added that the number of relationships that an organization has with customers, employees, prospects, suppliers, partners etc. has increased significantly and, therefore, so has the use of information and personal data for various corporate or business development purposes.
We understand this situation and the changes that have led to subjects such as technology, data protection and information security becoming part of the strategic agenda of companies and other organizations; therefore, we offer personalized solutions so that our clients can deal with the complex issues generated by the need to comply with the laws and industry regulations on this subject, e.g. the General Personal Data Protection Law (LGPD), the Civil Rights Framework for the Internet and specific resolutions issued by the Central Bank, ANS, ANEEL, ANATEL and other regulatory bodies and agencies.
Our section has a multidisciplinary vision and team that utilizes the available technology to provide either permanent or specific consultancy on how to ensure the legal, organizational and information security practices of our clients are suitable for the complex provisions in the legislation and regulations in force in Brazil and any other countries where our client does business.
