¿Cómo cuidar los datos personales de los clientes?

Data is the oil of the 21st century , so it is vitally important to know the actions and techniques to take care of business sources of income and avoid any problems that may arise. How?

⦁ Implement a data security standard that functions as an internal company policy as a protocol. In the United States and Europe, laws for data protection have already been approved, establishing standards for their implementation. Although Argentina has Law 25.326 on the Protection of Personal Data, there is still no model to follow for safeguarding information.

⦁ Implement role-based security: it is strictly necessary to be able to know who has permissions over the data and which ones they can access.

⦁ Audit actions performed on data: perform frequent verification of who, when, how, where and for what purpose the data was used. This is an important practice to avoid any incorrect use of the information collected.

⦁ Customers must be informed of the information that is collected and stored, what it will be used for, and why that data is needed.

⦁ Customer information should not be transferred to other companies or organizations without justified cause.

On the other hand, it is extremely important to be cautious when uploading personal data on websites, streaming services, social networks, applications, among others. GlobalLogic also warns the user about how to safely disclose their data , without putting their privacy at risk. Some tips are:

⦁ Install legal software : legally licensed software provides greater security when encountering a virus or other type of threat. Although these are usually paid, it is worth investing in original software. It is best to consult a systems specialist, who will suggest the program that best suits the needs of each user.

⦁ Have an updated and quality antivirus program : a good antivirus must have the ability to detect any threat quickly and a technical service available 24 hours a day for the user. It is always advisable to purchase them with the advice of systems professionals, so as not to run the risk of acquiring an infected or ineffective program.

⦁ Create complex passwords : it is essential that they do not contain personal data or words that relate to the user. This prevents them from being easy to hack.

“Data security is a matter for both companies and users. It is important that everyone is aware of the precautions that must be taken to protect their privacy and personal information. It is key to follow the steps mentioned above to prevent any web system from storing private information,” explained Germán Sobral, CTO of GlobalLogic Latam.

Computer security and data use is an issue that concerns everyone, simply by virtue of being connected to the Internet. GlobalLogic cares about the well-being of its clients and users by developing secure software so that nothing can harm their integrity and privacy, and encourages all consumers to be vigilant when using the Internet.
