COMPLIANCE AND GOVERNANCE
Technology supports compliance. The organization achieves it.
A privacy requirement becomes useful when it turns into rules, procedures and clearly assigned responsibilities.

FRAMEWORKS TO CONSIDER
Several obligations can meet in one workflow.
Province, industry, contracts and information type determine the applicable rules.
- PIPEDA
- Quebec's private-sector privacy law
- Quebec's Law 25
- Ontario PHIPA
- HIPAA security requirements when applicable
- Internal security and privacy policies
- Contractual requirements from clients or partners
The platform does not replace legal or regulatory analysis specific to the organization. It provides technical and administrative tools for building a more controlled and traceable environment.
