Information Security Policy

Information Security Policy

To maintain our excellent level of service as a strategic partner for our clients, the security of the personal information and data we hold is among our highest priorities.

This commitment is embedded in our Information Security Policy, based on the following principles:

  • Personal information and data under our responsibility regards information and data that is treated, physically or digitally stored, and processed in the IT systems and infrastructure at the locations our professionals use;
  • Irrespective of the position, role, area, or privileges granted to professionals, the privacy and security of personal information and data must remain secure. Professionals must always seek to:
    • Keep the information confidential, ensuring that it is only accessed when truly necessary and solely by authorized people;
    • Ensure the integrity, accuracy, and completeness of the information, as well as the methods used to process it; and
    • Ensure that the information is available to authorized people who depend on it.
  • Compliance with all legal obligations determined in applicable laws in order to meet regulatory and contractual requirements relevant to our professionals’ activities;
  • Respect for Mattos Filho’s Code of Ethics and Conduct when processing personal information and data.

All professionals are responsible for ensuring the security of personal information and data under the responsibility of Mattos Filho. They must report any circumstance that may expose Mattos Filho to any risk so that the firm can continue to improve processes and procedures regarding information security, personal data protection, and Mattos Filho’s Integrated Management System (SGI).
