e-Privacy
Management Systems Inc. is
celebrating its twelfth year in
business
Privacy is becoming
an important element in gaining a
strategic business advantage.
Privacy-friendly practices enhance
customer loyalty and create the
underpinnings of consumer acceptance
of electronic commerce.
Of
equal importance to business
decision-making are the requirements
of the various legislated privacy
codes that apply to the public and
private sectors, and the voluntary
privacy codes to which some
not-for-profit sectors subscribe.
Conformance with these laws and
codes is important to avoid a crisis
in consumer confidence or violation
of federal or provincial statutes.
Privacy impact assessments have
become the
internationally-recognized
analytical tool to determine whether
a program or system and the related
information management practices are
consistent with the applicable
privacy code. Privacy impact
assessments may be viewed as
feasibility studies from a privacy
perspective. A feasibility study
assesses a system from a cost
recovery and technological
perspective. Similarly, a privacy
impact assessment determines whether
a system and related business
practices meet the requirements of
the privacy code, and attempts to
gauge residual risks which may not
be compliance issues.
e-Privacy’s
consultants specialize in the
preparation of privacy impact
assessments for new systems and
business initiatives.
e-Privacy
has experience developing privacy
impact assessments in the public
health, environmental, law
enforcement, emergency preparedness,
surveillance and response,
agricultural, audit program, and
financial areas within the federal
and provincial governments and the
private sector.
e-Privacy
Management Systems also performs a
variety of training, conference
seminars and management consulting
services for privacy and access to
information practitioners, and for
public and private sectors and
information technology
organizations.
Consulting
service offerings include
development of corporate and program
policy as well as development of
privacy requirements specifications
for computer applications and for
requests for proposals (RFP's) and
vendor responses to RFP's.
e-Privacy’s
assignments have involved the
application of the Personal Health
Information Protection Act (PHIPA),
the Freedom of Information and
Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA),
the Municipal Freedom of Information
and Protection of Privacy Act
(MFIPPA), the Personal Information
Protection and Electronic Documents
Act (PIPEDA), the Access to
Information Act (ATIA), and the
Privacy Act as well as selected
aspects of program legislation
(e.g., the Health Protection and
Promotion Act).
We can also
provide resources to privacy and
access to information offices to
assist in the processing of access
requests or to investigate alleged
non-conformance with a privacy code. |
