OUR SERVICES

Privacy Data Secure Protection Safety Co
Privacy Protection

 

With the emergence of new information technologies, governments are increasingly accountable for managing personal information properly and maintaining a high degree of security to protect their electronic data. Whether you embrace outsourcing that requires complex contractual arrangements, or build in-house solutions, you need to take measures to protect personal information. In an environment driven by trade agreements where multi-national corporations manage services globally, government information may be transferred quickly and easily across borders to be treated or warehoused. This trans-border information flow subjects government information to extraterritorial laws, regulations and legislative requirements.

​

Talk to us about how you can manage the risk of exposure to extraterritorial laws or how to assess the security risks facing your existing projects or services. Our core expertise in privacy protection and planning covers:

  • Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA)

  • Privacy Breach Protocol

  • Privacy Policy / Framework

  • Privacy Notice Statements

  • Personal information holdings assessment

  • Trans-border dataflow analysis

  • Information Sharing Agreements 

  • Inter-jurisdictional legislation, policy and agreement harmonization
