7. Arts, Design and Media Production

7.1 Introduction

This chapter outlines Pragmatismo's approach to arts, design, and media production as integral components of our corporate compliance framework. We recognize that creative expression and design are not merely aesthetic considerations but essential elements that influence user experience, accessibility, and overall organizational culture. By integrating artistic sensibilities with compliance requirements, we create a more humane, engaging, and effective technological environment.

7.1.2 Connection to Compliance Frameworks

Our arts and design standards align with multiple compliance frameworks:

• ISO 27001: Information security through visual design and communication
• HIPAA/LGPD: Privacy by design and clear consent mechanisms
