Achieve LGPD compliance with ManageEngine

Organizations must ensure all personal-data processing aligns with LGPD’s ten principles: Purpose, Adequacy, Necessity, Free Access, Data Quality, Transparency, Security, Prevention, Non-discrimination, and Accountability. These principles must guide the entire data lifecycle—from collection to deletion—and serve as the foundation for evaluating and demonstrating compliance.
