While there is currently no official certification framework for Data Protection and Privacy, the LEET Security rating allows you to efficiently demonstrate due diligence in protecting personal information.
Our legal regulations called LOPDGDD (Organic Law on Data Protection and Guarantee of Digital Rights) adapts the RGPD of the European Union to the legislative framework. It establishes that “controllers and processors (...) will determine the appropriate technical and organizational measures necessary to ensure and demonstrate that the processing complies with the aforementioned regulation, the Organic Law, its development rules and the applicable sector-specific legislation".
As with the regulations themselves, compliance with the obligations established by the Law is not presumed; rather it is left to the discretion of those responsible parties to implement appropriate security measures in accordance with the principle of accountability.
We have incorporated the regulatory requirements into our methodology as implementable controls, together with the actions defined in the NIST Privacy Framework, which was developed for this purpose and is aligned with the OECD Privacy Principles. This enables organizations to assess the specific level of privacy protection, and assign a rating that will allow organizations to demonstrate their compliance.
In addition to the rating, a Privacy Qualifier may be obtained. It is granted after verification that all practices related to data protection regulations are complied with, in accordance with the evaluated rating.
The use of LEET Security’s proprietary methodology and rating enables the following:
Apply appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security commensurate with the risk.
What actions are required? Discover them through our control framework, which integrates international best practices and regulations, and recognized standards in cybersecurity and privacy, applying progressively higher requirements as data criticality increases.
Ensure and demonstrate that the processing complies with the Regulations and the Law.
The cybersecurity rating and seal, together with the Privacy Qualifier, enables you to demonstrate due diligence in the effective implementation of the required measures, as they confirm that these measures have been audited and verified by an independent professional body.
Require suppliers (processors) to comply with appropriate security measures.
Including requirements in a contract is not sufficient, you must also verify compliance. How can this monitoring be carried out without becoming a supplier’s auditor? The requirement of the rating for subcontracted services guarantees that they have already been audited by the Agency. It also enables suppliers to demonstrate the level of protection applied to all customers using the same services.
