How to choose IT-infrastructure compliant with Law No. 152-FZ
Understand if certification of systems is necessary
When processing any personal data, you need to assess the efficiency of measures to protect PD (Paragraph 4, Part 2 of Article 19 of Law No. 152-FZ). The exact procedure of such assessment may vary. Depending on the form of efficiency assessment, the company receives an efficiency assessment certificate or report.
Whether certification is required often depends on the type of processed data and the field in which the company operates. Certification is conducted by an FSTEC licensee, as it imposes additional restrictions on the operation of the information system.
Proper choice of the efficiency assessment form will help you implement the necessary measures to protect PD and reduce the cost of compliance with Law No. 152-FZ, as certification often turns out to be more expensive in implementation and subsequent operation.
System certification
Required for state and municipal systems. Commercial companies may need a certification if they connect to certain public systems, or in order to meet contract requirements. Among others, this applies to medical organizations, B2G services, financial and insurance companies.
Efficiency certification report
Compulsory for all personal data operators in accordance with Paragraph 4, Part 2 Article 19 of Law No. 152-FZ. This is a less formal procedure that does not require the mandatory use of certified means of protection. Companies conduct such assessment themselves or use an FSTEC-licensed contractor.
