COMPLIANCE · LGPD

Compliance with the LGPD starts by knowing where data is exposed.

The General Data Protection Law requires organizations to know and protect all processing of personal data. When this processing occurs on assets accessible via the internet, CSURFACE discovers and continuously monitors this surface — supporting the technical evidence that sustains the privacy program.

THE CHALLENGE

The unmapped personal data remains the organization's responsibility

The LGPD holds the controller responsible for all processing of personal data, regardless of whether such processing is documented in the official inventory. In practice, a significant portion of this processing occurs on internet-facing assets—portals, data capture forms, published test environments by mistake, subdomains from old campaigns, and subsidiary systems. These points collect, transmit, or store personal data and often escape registration in the processing operations.

It is important to define what is at stake. Compliance with the LGPD is the organization's responsibility and encompasses legal, organizational, and technical dimensions. CSURFACE does not replace the data processor nor certify compliance: the platform acts on the external attack surface, providing continuous and auditable technical evidence of assets exposed that process personal data, publicly accessible forms, and leaked corporate credentials. This evidence supports the privacy program insofar as it depends on external visibility.

HOW CSURFACE SUPPORTS

Visibility into personal data on the surface web

The platform covers the portion of the privacy program that depends on knowing and monitoring exposed assets.

Discovery of assets handling personal data

CSURFACE continuously discovers the external attack surface—including shadow IT, subsidiaries, and forgotten environments—and identifies assets that collect or transmit personal data, supporting the tracking of data processing operations.

Exposed forms and data collection points

Registration pages, contact forms, and web endpoints are located and monitored, allowing verification that each personal data collection point is known and protected.

Monitoring of leaked credentials

The platform monitors the exposure of corporate credentials in public leaks, reducing the window between compromise and detection and providing an earlier trigger for incident response plans.

WHAT THE ORGANIZATION GAINS

Tech evidence to support the privacy program

Up-to-date external inventory

The set of exposed assets handling personal data remains continuously updated, rather than relying on manual assessments that age between reviews.

Audit trail for the ANPD

Each discovery, classification, and change is recorded with date and context, forming an exportable trail that can support compliance with requests from the National Authority for Data Protection.

Faster incident response

By identifying leaked credentials and critical exposures with agility, the organization gains reaction time to activate the response plan and meet the communication deadlines stipulated in the LGPD.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQ

Does CSURFACE guarantee compliance with the LGPD?

No. Compliance with the LGPD is the responsibility of the organization and involves legal, organizational, and technical aspects. CSURFACE supports the privacy program in the technical part related to external exposure, providing continuous and auditable evidence about exposed assets that handle personal data.

What part of the privacy program does the platform cover?

The part related to the external attack surface: discovery of internet-facing assets that handle personal data, identification of exposed forms and points of collection, and monitoring of leaked corporate credentials. The platform does not analyze the internal network nor perform legal assessment of processing.

Does CSURFACE replace the data controller?

No. The data controller is a figure provided for in the LGPD with specific responsibilities. CSURFACE provides technical evidence of external exposure to the data controller and security team, supporting privacy decisions.

Can the evidence support an ANPD request?

Yes. CSURFACE maintains a traceable audit trail of discoveries, classifications, and changes in the external surface, exportable to support demonstrating that exposed assets are known and monitored.
