In this type of project, we proceed to cross data external sources from various sources, but without integrating them with those of the organization (videos, photos, texts published on social networks, forums or blogs, public data such as those published in the BOE, among others), with the organization's data .

When information is exported to the cloud, data security is a priority requirement, since they exist sensitive information (personal data and other data of a critical nature) that it is mandatory to upload them masked or encrypted, according to the needs and the type of data in question. Opposite case, we would violate the regulations.
