Privacy Programs

Privacy programs that are practical, defensible, and built to scale with your organization.

Understanding where your privacy program stands today is essential to improving it tomorrow. Our assessments provide a clear picture of your organization’s privacy maturity, highlighting strengths, gaps, and opportunities for improvement.

Compliance Assessments

Not sure where to start? Our Privacy Compliance Assessment delivers a comprehensive review of your organization’s privacy policies, procedures, and practices. We evaluate key areas such as environmental factors, governance, risk management, and program controls to identify strengths and gaps. The outcome is a clear snapshot of your current privacy program, along with a prioritized set of recommendations and a practical roadmap to guide ongoing improvement and strengthen compliance.

AI Assessments

AI Assessments help organizations evaluate the privacy, ethical, and regulatory implications of artificial intelligence and automated decision-making systems. We review how data is collected, processed, and used within AI models to identify risks and support risk mitigation. The result is a clear understanding of your AI system’s impacts and practical recommendations to help you manage risks, strengthen governance, and build confidence in your use of AI.

Privacy Impact Assessments

Our Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) provide a thorough evaluation of new or existing projects, systems, or processes to identify and mitigate privacy risks. We examine data flows, collection practices, and regulatory requirements to uncover potential vulnerabilities and compliance gaps. The result is a clear assessment of privacy risks, along with actionable recommendations and practical guidance to help you design or adjust initiatives while protecting personal information and maintaining trust. Depending on your sector and jurisdiction, PIAs may be required by law.

Privacy Program
Development

Building a privacy program can feel complex, especially if it involves AI, but it doesn’t have to be. We help organizations design and implement privacy programs that are practical, compliant, and tailored to how you actually work. Our approach starts with understanding your business, regulatory environment, and data practices. From there, we develop policies, procedures, AI and data governance models, and training needed to embed privacy into your organization’s culture. The result is a strong foundation that supports compliance, reduces risk, and builds trust with clients, employees, and partners.

Core program components we support

We’ve worked with clients across sectors to build privacy programs that are sustainable and defensible. Common areas we support include:

    How we work

    Led by senior privacy professionals

    Our team brings hands-on experience designing and implementing privacy programs in line with Canadian public sector mandates and global regulatory expectations.

    Flexible and scalable support

    From high-level strategy to detailed implementation, we offer the right level of support — whether you're leading your first privacy initiative or refining a mature program.

    Always jurisdictionally aligned

    We monitor privacy regulations and best practices across Canada and internationally — so your program evolves with the regulatory landscape.

    Operationally rooted

    We build programs that make sense for your day-to-day reality. Because a program that’s too complex to run is a program that won’t last.
