More secure databases have been implemented and the people who manipulate the municipality's bases have been trained, implementing new security tools like blockchain.

Curitiba has created an Open Data Committee for the municipality, composed of the municipality's Secretariats of Innovation, Administration and Technology, Federal Universities of Paraná, the Third Sector and Startups that use the portal. The Open Data portal brings together several data sets from 20 municipal departments in different formats and subjects and has a continuous schedule of improvement to the portal and the adaptations to the laws.
