- Implement consent records plus data-subject access and deletion workflows.
- Encrypt data in transit and at rest; restrict and log administrative access.
- Prepare a breach-notification procedure that meets the timelines that apply in Chile.
- Review contracts and data-processing agreements for every third-party service.

For clients in Chile we usually host on Google Cloud Santiago, with AWS São Paulo as an alternative. The choice balances latency for local users, Law 19 requirements on where personal data may be stored or transferred, and any sector rules your regulator sets. Backups and disaster-recovery copies follow the same residency decision.
