Insurance & compliance
Answer the insurance form honestly, and still get covered.
Cyber insurers and enterprise clients now ask detailed security questions before they will cover you or sign a contract. An inaccurate "yes" can put a future claim at risk. We help you put the controls in place, so the honest answer is the good answer.
What insurers commonly ask
The controls behind the questions.
Wording varies by insurer, but most applications and renewals focus on the same core controls.
Canadian privacy law
If personal information is breached, the clock starts.
Canadian organizations have legal duties to protect personal information and to report certain breaches. Our investigation and documentation give you and your counsel the facts needed to meet them.
PIPEDA (federal)
Private-sector organizations must report breaches of security safeguards that create a real risk of significant harm to the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, notify affected individuals, and keep records of every breach for 24 months.
Alberta PIPA
Organizations subject to Alberta’s Personal Information Protection Act must notify the Information and Privacy Commissioner, without unreasonable delay, of incidents where there is a real risk of significant harm to individuals.
Alberta Health Information Act
Custodians of health information, including clinics and dental offices, have their own duty to notify the Commissioner, the Minister of Health and affected individuals when unauthorized access or disclosure creates a risk of harm.
