Privacy regulations across Canada are tightening. Provincial laws now mandate privacy officers, impact assessments, and stricter data handling practices with penalties reaching $25 million or 4% of global revenue. At the same time, businesses are rapidly adopting AI tools without governance frameworks, creating new risks around bias, accountability, and data misuse.
Your customers and partners are also paying attention. They're increasingly asking for proof of compliance, vendor assessments, and privacy certifications before they'll do business with you.
The cost of ignoring this? A lot higher than the cost of getting it right.
