The SEC ensures the protection of personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, alteration, disclosure, and other unlawful processing by implementing appropriate security measures based on the nature of the data.

Personal information of SEC personnel is retained and disposed of in accordance with civil service laws and the National Archives of the Philippines Act of 2007.

Personal data from contractors and service providers are retained for one year after contract expiration. After this period, hard copies are securely destroyed, and soft copies are deleted.

Similarly, personal data from job applicants are retained for one year from collection. After this period, hard copies are securely disposed of, and soft copies are deleted.

Once a record has passed its retention period and is no longer needed, all hard and soft copies of personal information will be securely disposed of and destroyed. Authorized disposal methods include shredding, burial, or sale to a buyer. This process will be carried out in the presence of a Records Management Analyst from the National Archives of the Philippines (NAP), a SEC COA representative, and members of the SEC RMIC, such as the Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson, and relevant Departmental Directors/Records Focals (or their alternates).
