Protect Your Business: Cybersecurity and LGPD for SMEs
Cybersecurity and data protection should be part of everyday SME operations. Learn how to structure controls and reduce exposure.
Direct answer: SMEs should start cybersecurity with an inventory of systems and data, individual access control, multi-factor authentication, software updates, tested backups, staff awareness and a defined incident-response process.
Start with visibility
Map critical systems, databases, integrations, administrator accounts and vendors. Identify where personal, financial and strategic information is stored.
Protect identities and access
Use individual accounts, limit administrative privileges, enable multi-factor authentication and regularly review permissions.
Updates, backups and people
Keep systems updated, test backups and train teams to recognize phishing and social engineering. Security depends on technology and operating discipline.
Data governance
Understand what personal data is collected, why it is used, how long it is retained and which providers receive it. Technical controls and governance should work together.
Incident response
Define who investigates, who makes decisions and how evidence is preserved before an incident happens. Review lessons learned after each event.
