Management of data protection policies

Página 37

The management of data protection policies is one of the main responsibilities of the Human Resources area in a company. This is due to the fact that data management is one of the main concerns of organizations today, since the General Data Protection Law (LGPD) came into force in Brazil in September 2020.

To ensure the protection of employees' personal data, the company must adopt security and privacy measures, in addition to establishing clear and objective policies for the management of this information. It is important for the company to establish an information security culture, making employees aware of the importance of data protection and training them so that they know how to deal with confidential information.

In addition, the company must establish data access policies, defining which employees will have access to which information and under what circumstances. It is important that the company limits access to data only to employees who need this information to perform their duties, thus preventing possible leaks of information and ensuring the privacy of employees' personal data.

Another important measure is the creation of data backups, thus guaranteeing the recovery of information in case of loss or theft. It is important that these backups are stored in secure locations and that only authorized employees have access to this information.

Finally, it is important that the company is always up to date with the laws and regulations involving data protection, thus ensuring that its policies are in compliance with current legislation. The company must have a professional responsible for data management, who will be responsible for ensuring the security and privacy of employee information.
