According to the report of theTrend Micro, in 2023 Brazil recorded a record number of cyber attacks, with a total of 161 billion threats blocked, representing a 10% increase compared to the previous year. The main targets of malware campaigns from 2019 to 2023 were the industrial sectors, governmental, of health, education and the banking system
In this scenario, the implementation of good practices in the handling of this information becomes essential. The General Data Protection Law (GDPL), in effect since 2021, stands out as a crucial regulatory milestone in the protection of personal information, covering both physical and digital means
To ensure compliance with the LGPD, companies must adopt a set of preventive actions, how the conduct of audits on contracts by specialized lawyers to assess risks and provide ongoing training for their employees.Those who do not comply with the rules set forth by the law may face penalties, such fines and restrictions on using personal data collected until its proper regularization.
In Henrique Flôres' view, co-founder of Contraktor, SaaS platform for document digitization, the creation of an internal culture of protection and full compliance with the legislation is essential. "Training is a mandatory pillar within data compliance", with lectures, workshops and constant communication from senior management, explain.
Impact of New Technologies on Data Processing
According to the executive, the digitization and the adoption of new technologies, how artificial intelligence (AI), play a fundamental role in the management and protection of contractual information. "A Contractor, for example, developed tools such as the CLM (contract lifecycle manager) and AI, that support the progress of management maturity and the professionalization of businesses, affirms
These technologies allow for active control of the database, generation of insights for decision making and advanced searches, transforming the way contractual information is managed and protected
The perceived benefits of implementing AI include the prediction and prevention of events that can financially impact companies, avoiding contract breaches and losses arising from poor contract management
"We notice benefits that directly impact the companies' finances". The human was no longer able to perform an audit on databases with more than 100 contracts, what will it say above 1000, therefore, mechanisms such as AI support automation and control to prevent contract breaches and financial losses resulting from poor contract management, says Flôres
However, there are still challenges and concerns, how the necessary care with intellectual property and compliance with the LGPD in the use of information for training algorithms. "Data science is a strong ally of professionals", allowing a quick and efficient response in document organization and report generation, concludes Flôres
