Final answer:
The LGPD mandates the appointment of Data protection officers to ensure compliance and conduct Data protection impact assessments. While analysts and audits are not explicitly required, they could be part of a company's compliance strategy.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Brazilian General Data Protection Act (LGPD), similar to the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), mandates several measures to ensure the protection of personal data. Two specific mandates required by the LGPD are:
- Data protection officers (DPO): Organizations must appoint a DPO to oversee compliance with the LGPD and act as a point of contact between the company, the data subjects, and the national authority.
- Data protection impact assessments: Companies are required to conduct regular assessments to analyze how personal data is processed and to ensure that they are in compliance with the LGPD's privacy requirements.
Data protection analysts may be part of a company's strategy to comply with the LGPD, but they are not explicitly mandated. Similarly, data protection audits are good practices and may be part of complying with the law but are not specifically mandated by the LGPD.
