Data protection as part of the security strategy

Any person who processes personal data must comply with the provisions of the RGPD and the LOPD GDD.

Adopting information security measures implies knowing the real risks faced by the company, as well as creating a culture of training and awareness for all personnel.

The training of personnel (users) is a key element, since ignorance of external threats and of the measures adopted would result in an incomplete security strategy.

Identification of risks

Complex passwords, cryptographic keys, regular antivirus updates, log management, secure deletion and adequate backups (full, incremental or differential), including staff awareness.

Classification of information

Classifying information is essential for the design of data security measures, according to the impact that would be caused to the company if the data were destroyed, lost or disseminated without permission.

To classify information, we must consider the confidentiality of the data, its usefulness to the company and the effects that would occur in situations of theft, deletion or loss on business continuity.

In order to carry out an adequate classification of the information, it is very important not to lose sight of the criteria and obligations established by the regulations on the subject of data protectionas well as the different interpretations of the AEPD.

Training and awareness

Knowing and knowing what our strengths and weaknesses are makes us more competitive and on the other hand, more confident in every step forward.
