  • Security incidents are reported to the Controller and the DPO immediately

6. Sharing, International Transfer and Data Subject Rights

7. Information Security and Data Incidents

7.1. Information Security

Economatica adopts technical and administrative measures proportional to its size and complexity to protect personal and business data against unauthorized access, loss, alteration or improper disclosure.

Main practices and controls:

  • Secure infrastructure, with dedicated servers and certified cloud providers (ISO 27001, SOC 2)

  • Individualized access control, per-user authentication and logs
  • Automatic daily backups in redundant environments
  • Continuous monitoring of integrity and availability

Employees and service providers are directly responsible for protecting information and must follow the guidance of the DPO and the Information Technology department regarding the secure use of systems, devices and passwords.

7.2. Procedure in the Event of Security Incidents

Economatica maintains an Incident Response Procedure, with steps for cases of actual or suspected breaches of personal data, business data or systems.

In any situation (e.g., unauthorized access, loss, leak or accidental deletion), the employee or service provider must immediately notify the DPO through the official channel.

Internal protocol steps:

  • Identification and containment: initial assessment, isolation of the source and prevention of spread
  • Analysis and recording: investigation of causes, impact, categories of affected data and corrective measures
  • Communication: notification to the Executive Board and, if applicable, to the ANPD and data subjects, according to the risk and legal requirements
  • Correction and mitigation: corrective actions and prevention of recurrence
  • Documentation and learning: detailed record, lessons learned and improvements to controls

Failure to comply with security guidelines or failure to report incidents may result in disciplinary measures, depending on the severity.

8. Data Retention and Disposal

This section defines internal guidelines for the retention, storage and secure disposal of personal and business data, in accordance with the governance and data protection best practices adopted by Economatica.
