Various organizations have implemented personal data protection management strategies by creating structures based on centralized information systems, thereby ensuring maximum control over both the data and the processes that generate them, and compliance with the objectives and policies established.

In reality, the centralized model works correctly, however today's society revolves around a problem of accelerated population growth that involves challenges in mobility, health, availability of sectorized human resources and quality of life needs, which is why Teleworking has prospered, thus creating a new organizational challenge that seeks to guarantee business continuity under conditions of treatment of personal information with multiple sources and responsible parties.

Based on the above, each company or entity must:

Define a set of specific policies for the teleworking modality, which will describe the risks involved in handling information outside the organization's spaces, the forms of remote access to the data, the facebook database of those in charge, the responsibilities, as well as their explicit obligations; training guides and recommendations for personnel who handle the information will be included, along with the list of threats and the consequences of their materialization, adding to this the procedures for handling incidents.
Implement computer systems that offer security guarantees and are reliable in terms of data quality, that restrict access to information by unauthorized personnel, that monitor access attempts from untrusted or unauthorized networks, that identify abnormal network traffic patterns, and that are free of security breaches, or at least have a minimal level of breach.
Of course, any security system will not work if employees are not aware of the importance of protecting personal data and if they are not trained .

Ensure that teleworking employees are aware of their obligation to comply with PDP policies, to protect their work device, be it a smartphone, tablet or PC, by using access passwords, avoiding downloading any application that has not been previously authorized by the organization, preventing their device from being used by other people and from having contact with unsecured public networks and always requiring that it has network authentication means to access the organization's databases.
