The Importance of Compliance as a Tool to Combat Cybercrime

Abstract

Law 13.709/2018 - General Data Protection Law - is in force in Brazil, aiming to protect fundamental rights of freedom and personality. In this view, this proposal is closely linked to the analysis of the implementation of compliance rules in the business technology sectors in order to avoid cybercrime, identifying in practice what must be done aiming to eliminate the leakage of clients' data. This article will inform about the importance of compliance in cybercrime, how companies should provide conditions so that criminals do not have access to customer data. Business owners need to keep their technological security level very high, including several precautions explained throughout this paper. Companies must help in the fight against cyberattacks aiming to comply with specific laws. The need for the creation of specific rules will be demonstrated, thus avoiding Internet hacking. One cannot deny the advance of technology, but one must be aware that today we depend on it and that illegal acts will increasingly become a reality. What is sought is to identify specific means of combating cybercrime through the correct use of compliance in the technology sector of companies.
