AWARENESS

GREAT privacy management begins with you and your management team being aware of the various laws that impact your organization with respect to privacy. These vary by industry and by the nature of the individuals about whom you collect personal information. Institute associates are all senior consultants who combine their privacy and security knowledge with experience in one or more of human resource management, finance, auditing, sales/marketing, and information systems.

The Institute keeps an ongoing watch on developments in privacy law in Canada and throughout the world, passing that information on to you through information materials (hard copy and via the web), and through our other products and services outlined above. We then offer a number of awareness/education alternatives about the practical challenges of meeting Canada 's privacy laws. Each session is tailored to the audience; if to a group of HR professionals, then employment privacy is focused on. For social service organizations, clients/persons receiving treatment are the focus.

Sessions can also be created specifically for your organization and given to management and/or employee groups, and can include Speeches (one to two hours in length), Seminars (two to four hours in length) , or Workshops (1 or more full days)

Books written by Institute associates include:

•  Privacy in the Workplace – The Employment Perspective (ISBN 1-55367-268-2) published by CCH Canada in February 2004;

•  Internet and Wireless Privacy – A Legal Guide to Global Business Practices (ISBN 1-55367-180-5) published by CCH Canada in 2003;

Both books are available on our website: http://www.canadianprivacyinstitute.ca/book.html , or from the publisher, CCH Canada: http://www.cch.ca/english/index.asp?sq=yes


RISK AND READINESS ASSESSMENT

How prepared is your organization to comply with Canada’s privacy legislation? Institute certified assessors will come to you offices and conduct a full assessment of your readiness, provide a report outlining your areas of risk, and provide recommendations for corrective action. The duration of Privacy Assessments varies with the size of organization and the number of operating units and sites.


PRIVACY PROGRAM PLAN


The Canadian Privacy Institute will work with you to create a Privacy Management Plan that minimizes risk and that demonstrates to shareholders, the public, your customers, and your employees that your organization takes the protection of personal information seriously.

An important part of the implementation of your plan is to train your staff on the intent of your Privacy policy and how to manage personal information. The Institute will certify your staff as fully trained. Training can be tailored to fit your organization’s specific industry and the plan you have developed.

PRIVACY PROGRAM MANAGEMENT

Each and every organization in Canada needs to have a Privacy Plan and needs to manage that plan. The protection of personal data is a highly sensitive matter. Just as Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) are considered to be too sensitive to be managed within the organization, so too, many organizations contract the management of their Privacy Plan. Can you afford to dedicate staff to manage this process?

Your privacy program will touch Sales, Marketing, Purchasing, Human Resources, Payroll, Risk Management, and Operations. Which of these has the capacity to take on your Privacy Management activity? Is it appropriate to assign the role of Chief Privacy Officer [view Media Clip] to any one of these groups when they would then have to adjudicate complaints against their own policies and actions?


The Canadian Privacy Institute will manage your Privacy plan for you. Contact us for details:
