Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Impact of information security regulations on SMEs in Ecuador significantly affects their competitiveness, profitability, and sustainability. Implementing information security policies, procedures, and controls, as well as complying with regulations such as the Personal Data Protection Law, requires the allocation of financial and human resources, posing a challenge for many SMEs due to their limited budgets and technical expertise. Despite this, non-compliance can lead to penalties and business losses, highlighting the importance of these measures to ensure information security and business continuity. The level of awareness about these regulations varies, and while some companies are investing in training and security technologies, many still face significant obstacles to fully adapt.
