Data Protection and Privacy

Companies operating in Ecuador require practical data protection frameworks that comply with the LOPDP while remaining workable for day-to-day business operations.

 

We advise companies across different industries, particularly those operating in regulated environments or handling large volumes of personal data. Our work covers the full lifecycle of privacy compliance, from initial assessments and governance design to ongoing supervision through external Data Protection Officer (DPO) services.

What Sets Us Apart

Our approach focuses on operationalizing privacy compliance, reducing regulatory risk, and ensuring that personal data is handled responsibly throughout organizational processes tailored to business realities.

We design and implement data protection governance frameworks, act as external DPO for organisations that require ongoing oversight, and help multinational companies adapt global privacy policies to comply with Ecuador’s LOPDP.
