Abstract

In the public sector of Ecuador, the online government has facilitated the paperwork between citizens and state entities, however, this interaction can expose the personal information of citizens to risks that violate their privacy. For this research, an understanding of the requirements for the protection of personal data was made, the current situation of other countries in the region and of Ecuador in the area of protection of personal data was reviewed, contrasting these results with the common problems of the public institutions of Ecuador. On the same subject, a compliance checklist for personal data protection was developed and validated by a group of experts. This work proposes the minimum security controls of the information that the public institutions of Ecuador that have implemented the online government and private organizations (of all sectors), should put into practice to protect the personal data of citizens, which they are managed and processed in their technological infrastructure. Finally, the proposed control chart should be considered for implementation in the private sector.
