Brazil LGPD compliance assessments

In late July 2026, Brazilian academic research highlighted specific compliance issues, examining a Santos‑based accounting firm’s handling of employee data under the General Data Protection Law (LGPD) and identifying gaps and training needs. A separate study evaluated teacher‑training adequacy in João Pessoa, illustrating the broader use of data‑driven assessments in public policy.

Two days later, the National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) released findings from its first monitoring phase, auditing 56 public and private data‑treatment agents. The inspection focused on the appointment of Data Protection Officers and the availability of channels for data‑subject rights, revealing that only 27 entities fully complied, while 21 failed to respond. Experts accompanying the report emphasized document‑management practices as essential for meeting LGPD requirements.

Together, the snapshots show a shift from isolated academic case studies to a nationwide regulatory review, underscoring growing scrutiny of LGPD adherence across Brazil’s public and private sectors.
