Brazil LGPD Compliance Services

LGPD Compliance Services

Data Protection Officer Services

An organization is responsible for personal data under its control, and it must appoint someone to be accountable for LGPD compliance. VeraSafe can serve as your designated DPO under LGPD, managing communications from the national authority, supporting internal privacy governance, and promoting ongoing alignment with LGPD’s privacy requirements.

International Data Transfer and SCCs

The LGPD includes rules for international transfers of personal data, including the use of Brazil’s approved standard contractual clauses (SCCs) and other transfer safeguards. VeraSafe can help you navigate compliance with cross-border data transfer requirements and implement appropriate safeguards. We can also help assess whether SCCs are appropriate for your organization and how best to implement them.

Applicability and Gap Assessment

VeraSafe offers comprehensive applicability and gap assessments to help determine your organization’s obligations under LGPD based on your data processing practices. We evaluate your existing privacy framework and posture, identify deficiencies against the ten LGPD principles, and provide a prioritized remediation roadmap. Whether you’re newly subject to LGPD or looking to confirm the sufficiency of your current program, our assessments establish a strong compliance foundation while aligning with your operational risk profile and sector-specific requirements.

Security Controls

The LGPD requires processing agents to adopt technical and administrative measures to protect personal data from unauthorized access and accidental or unlawful events of destruction, loss, alteration, communication, or dissemination. VeraSafe can help your organization assess privacy-related security controls, including evaluating technical safeguards such as access controls, encryption, network security, and monitoring capabilities, as well as administrative measures such as policies, training, and governance structures. We also support the development and testing of incident response procedures, and define workflows for identifying, escalating, documenting, and responding to security incidents.

Data Mapping

We can assess your organization’s personal data processing activities to help identify what personal data you collect, where it comes from, how it is used, where it is stored, who it is shared with, how long it is retained, and whether sensitive personal data or cross-border transfers are involved. This helps your organization understand its LGPD obligations and maintain appropriate records of its processing activities.

Data Breach Notification

Where a security incident may lead to significant risk or damage to data subjects, the LGPD requires the controller to notify the Autoridade Nacional de Proteção de Dados (ANPD) and affected data subjects. VeraSafe can help your organization assess notification obligations and prepare breach response documentation.

Data Subject Rights Management

Under the LGPD, individuals have various rights, including to obtain information about the processing of their personal data, confirm whether processing is taking place, and access their personal data. VeraSafe can help your organization implement procedures for managing data subject requests (DSRs), ensuring that all requests are processed promptly and in compliance with the LGPD’s requirements and timelines. We guide you in creating workflows for data subject access, rectification, deletion, anonymization, blocking, portability, consent revocation, and objection requests, as well as requests involving information about data sharing and automated decision-making, where applicable.

Recordkeeping and Compliance Documentation

Organizations subject to the LGPD may need to maintain records of their personal data processing activities, especially when processing is based on legitimate interest. VeraSafe can assist in developing the necessary documentation and records to support LGPD compliance and lawful processing.

Privacy Notice Review

VeraSafe can review and update your organization’s privacy notices and related transparency disclosures to ensure they meet LGPD’s requirements. We ensure that your policies reflect clear information on data processing activities, including purposes of processing, data sharing, and data subject rights. Our services also extend to crafting clear consent forms that align with LGPD’s requirements for processing personal data where consent is used as the legal basis.

Vendor Risk Management

VeraSafe can assist your organization in assessing privacy and security practices across vendor relationships and reviewing privacy-related contractual provisions. This may include preparing data processing agreements (DPAs) or other privacy-related contract terms for vendors, processors, and other third parties, reviewing vendor privacy terms, and developing contractual safeguards for personal data processing.

Employee Training

A privacy program depends on employees understanding how personal data should be collected, used, shared, retained, and protected in practice. VeraSafe can help develop LGPD-focused training and awareness materials tailored to your organization’s teams, systems, and data processing activities.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The LGPD may apply to organizations that process personal data in Brazil, offer or supply goods or services to individuals located in Brazil, process personal data of individuals located in Brazil, or process personal data that was collected in Brazil.

The LGPD may apply regardless of where the organization is headquartered, the means used for processing, or where the personal data is located.

Non-compliance with the LGPD can result in fines of up to 2% of gross revenue, capped at 50 million BRL per violation. Other sanctions may include warnings, public disclosure of the infraction, blocking or erasure of personal data, suspension of certain processing activities, and partial or full prohibition of activities related to data processing.

The LGPD and GDPR share many core data protection concepts, including lawful processing, transparency, data subject rights, security obligations, accountability, oversight by a data protection authority, and rules for international data transfers.

The European Commission’s adequacy decision for Brazil states that Brazil, through the LGPD, provides a level of protection for personal data transferred from the European Union that is essentially equivalent to the protection guaranteed under the GDPR. However, organizations should not assume that GDPR compliance automatically satisfies LGPD requirements, as differences may arise in terminology, regulatory guidance, documentation, role allocation, consent requirements, data subject request processes, breach notification thresholds and procedures, and international transfer mechanisms.

On January 27, 2026, the European Commission and Brazil adopted mutual adequacy decisions for EU-Brazil data transfers. As a result, personal data can generally be transferred between the European Economic Area and Brazil without relying on Standard Contractual Clauses, Binding Corporate Rules, or another separate transfer mechanism.

This followed the European Commission’s September 2025 draft adequacy decision for Brazil, the European Data Protection Board’s review of Brazil’s data protection framework, and Brazil’s parallel adequacy assessment. VeraSafe can help organizations assess how these developments may affect international data transfers, customer contracts, and vendor agreements.

In addition, Brazil’s Digital Child and Adolescent Statute, also known as the ECA Digital, entered into force in March 2026 and introduced new obligations for digital products and services directed at, or likely to be accessed by, children and adolescents in Brazil. These developments heighten the importance of assessing practices around children and adolescents’ data, including age-assurance measures, parental supervision mechanisms, profiling, targeted features, transparency, privacy-by-design, and safeguards for online services, games, platforms, and other digital environments.
