Why DataGuard

The LOPDP requires more
than a lawyer

Ecuador's Personal Data Protection Law (LOPDP) creates obligations that span three simultaneous dimensions. A single profile can't cover all three — a multidisciplinary cell can.

⚖️

Legal compliance

Analysis of lawfulness bases, drafting of DPAs and privacy clauses, ARCO rights management, regulatory monitoring. Specialized in LOPDP and SPDP resolutions.

🔄

Process mapping

BPMN data flow diagrams by macroprocess, construction and maintenance of the Activity Treatment Register (RAT), DPIA methodology, identification of compliance gaps.

🔒

Technical controls

Audit of encryption, RBAC access control, audit logs and pseudonymization. DPA review with technology providers. Technical support in incident response.

The Multidisciplinary Cell

Six specialized roles.
One monthly fee.

Every client gets the complete Cell — not just a DPO. When a ticket comes in, it's handled by the right specialist from day one.

Regulatory framework

LOPDP: what every
company needs to know

Art. 49 LOPDP

DPO is mandatory

Organizations that process data at large scale, habitually and systematically, or that process special category data must designate and register a DPO with the SPDP. Most medium and large Ecuadorian companies are required to comply.

Art. 25 LOPDP

Special categories

Health, biometric, financial, ethnic origin, sexual orientation and other sensitive data are subject to reinforced obligations: explicit consent, DPIA, and more restrictive lawfulness bases.

Res. 0028-R SPDP

International transfers

Data transfers outside Ecuador require adequate guarantees. Cloud providers, SaaS platforms and international partners must be analyzed and, when applicable, formalized under the RIPD Model Contractual Clauses.

Art. 44 LOPDP

Security incidents

Any security incident involving personal data must be notified to the SPDP within 72 hours of detection. DataGuard has a defined protocol to meet this deadline without operational disruption.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need
to decide

What is an outsourced DPO under Ecuador's LOPDP?

An outsourced DPO is a specialized external team that performs the functions of the Data Protection Delegate required by Art. 49 LOPDP. The Ecuadorian law expressly allows this model. Wiibiq offers a Multidisciplinary Cell combining legal, process and technology profiles — coverage no individual DPO can match alone.

Which companies must have a DPO according to the LOPDP?

Art. 49 LOPDP requires it for controllers and processors that carry out large-scale processing, habitual and systematic processing of data subjects, or processing of special categories of data (Art. 25 LOPDP). In practice, this includes most medium and large companies operating in Ecuador.

How long does it take to activate DataGuard?

The service activates within a maximum of 7 business days from contract signing. In that week the DPO is registered with the SPDP, all infrastructure is activated (institutional DPO email, ticket portal, repository, dashboard) and the 90-minute Kickoff is held with the client's team.

What is the RAT and why is it mandatory?

The RAT (Activity Treatment Register) is the formal inventory of all personal data processing operations in an organization. It is mandatory under the LOPDP and is the first document the SPDP requests in any inspection. Without an updated RAT, an organization cannot demonstrate compliance.

What distinguishes DataGuard from hiring a lawyer?

A lawyer covers the legal dimension, but effective LOPDP compliance also requires BPMN process mapping, technical security control evaluation, operational ARCO channel management, and continuous independent supervision. DataGuard delivers a Cell of six specialized roles operating in a coordinated manner — DPO, compliance lawyer, process specialist, IT specialist, account executive and client success leader.
