- Application of modern protection methods and control of access to data sources containing personal data;
- Restriction of access to sensitive data as well as restriction of user accounts that can have access to certain data, introducing a role and authorization system that will ensure that only certain employees who require access to data for work tasks can have access and process appropriate data;
