Privacy, data governance and AI advisory.
For organizations handling personal information under PIPEDA, Ontario law or Quebec Law 25, and for leaders approving AI tools. Privacy obligations in Canada now reach deep into how systems are configured. We connect the legal requirement to the technical reality: where personal information lives, who can reach it, how long it is kept, how a breach is assessed, and how AI tools are introduced without creating new exposure.
