Our suite of services range from Do-It-Yourself templates and checklists, to hands-on guidance and in-person training. We aim to provide a solution that meets your budget and company needs. We target the three key areas of your business; Process, Policies, and People.
From privacy centric product design to customer data management, let our privacy experts walk you through our Global Data Privacy Regulation Compliance Playbook, ensuring you meet guidelines for GDPR, PIPEDA, CCPA and others.
Data Protection Impact Assessments analyzes how data is collected, processed, stored, transferred, and retained. It includes privacy risk assessment and will highlight where processes are needed to prevent and handle breaches in security.
By injecting Privacy by Design methodology in to your foundation, we can ensure your company is set up for success in the future.
Policies
Ensure your company is covered with the following :
Privacy Policies (regulation compliant)
Incident response & management
Employee Information Security and Privacy Policies
People
The weakest link in the cybersecurity chain is still the employees. Social engineering and human error are responsible for the majority of data breaches -> 92% of malware is still downloaded to a company’s system via email sent to an employee. Though there are terrific software solutions that help to mitigate these risks, the ultimate solution is to train your employees. Help them better understand what information they are giving away and how it can be used against them.
Through seminars and workshops, we train employees to better understand what information they are giving away and how it can be used against them. You will keep hackers at bay, secure your private accounts, and take ownership of your most valuable asset, your data.
What is a compliant privacy policy?
New data regulations stipulate rights for users in terms of the collection, use, and retention of their data. These regulations require that customers be informed of those rights as how your company is handling them appropriately. A Privacy Policy is the ideal way to share this information. It one of many templates we have for corporate use. It is also included in our full suite of compliance services.
What services can I do myself?
We know that budget is a factor for many companies, especially small to medium businesses. As such, many of our templates are available for purchase as a document that you download and fill out on your own. We have tried to keep costs low on these items. Feel free to contact us to discuss your needs.
Our Global Compliance Playbook is also available.
How many of these policies do I need?
The short answer? All of them. Having policies covers you in the event that something goes wrong. You can write all the policies yourself in simple English but your employees should know that you have minimum expectation when it comes to passwords, what they post on social media, and what to say to a customer in relation to data privacy.
We do offer a comprehensive Employee Information Security and Privacy Policy that will cover your needs.
What is Global Compliance and why do I need it?
Several government entities have established rules for how data is used. GDPR, General Data Protection Regulation, covers all European citizens, regardless of where they reside. PIPEDA, Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, covers Canadian companies that are not run by government and are for-profit. CCPA, California Consumer Protection Act, covers all residents of California. If you have customers in any of these locations you are legally required to comply with these regulations. Other countries have their own standards or are employing these set regulations. We aim to help you be compliant to the highest degree in all areas to ensure you meet all the standards.
How much consulting will I require?
All regulations are a list of WHAT has to be implemented but we give you the HOW. We believe if you implement your solution properly the first time then you will not have to redo it in the future.
Most of our clients hire us in to solve the problem completely. With some input from the company, we are able to put together a comprehensive package including all processes, policies, and documentation required to be fully compliant. We also run the mandatory Data Protection Impact Assessment.
We do appreciate both budgets and distance as a factor, so you can chose to purchase our extensive checklist that includes a list of all processes and polices required to not only meet standards but also comply with Privacy by Design and future changes.
Or you may opt to purchase our extensive set of templates to allow you to fill them in yourselves.
To where do you travel?
We are located in South Western Ontario and are willing to travel within North America for a fee. We typically do not find a need to work onsite. A handful of face-to-face meetings in person or online work well. Often times no travel is required.
How many people can you speak to at once?
We have had workshop groups as small as 4 and seminar groups as big as 1000. It is up to you and the capacity of your rooms.
What type of equipment do you need?
We will come with a presentation on a Mac laptop and USB stick, which ever is easier for you. For big rooms, it is preferable if you have your own projector. For smaller rooms, we can provide one on request. There is no audio in the presentation.
Microphones are needed for large rooms and groups.
What are the costs?
We have a variety of packages including seminars, consulting and hands-on workshops. Seminars start at $1000. Training can be priced in to a consulting package. Contact us for details about what we offer.
