Question 1

What is compliance?

Accepted Answer

Compliance refers to the set of rules, laws, and standards that an organization must follow in its operations. In data protection, compliance means that the company follows the laws regarding the collection, processing, and security of personal information. This involves putting in place internal processes to ensure that all operations follow legal requirements and best practices. Good compliance helps avoid legal penalties and builds customer trust in the company.

Question 2

What is a RPRP (Personal Information Protection Officer)?

Accepted Answer

A RPRP is a professional responsible for ensuring that companies comply with laws and regulations regarding the protection of personal data. With the evolution of legislation, such as Bill 25 in Quebec, the role of the RPRP has become crucial. He supervises the collection, processing, use, and retention of personal data in order to guarantee its security and confidentiality. In the event of non-compliance, the RPRP advises on the measures to be taken to correct the flaws and avoid sanctions.

Question 3

What is a certified administrator?

Accepted Answer

A chartered administrator is a professional member of the Order of Chartered Administrators who has recognized expertise in management and governance. Chartered administrators are managers and directors who promote best practices in terms of management, ethics and compliance. They are subject to a code of ethics. Their role is to advise and support managers in making strategic decisions, while ensuring that the company is in compliance with the laws and regulations in force. Their accreditation allows them to practice in a rigorous and professional framework.

Question 4

What is a data protection consultant?

Accepted Answer

A data protection consultant assists companies in implementing policies and practices to protect sensitive information, such as the personal data of their customers or employees. They advise on compliance with regulations (such as the GDPR in Europe or Bill 25 in Quebec), analyze the risks associated with data management, and propose solutions to strengthen the security of information systems. Their goal is to help the company avoid data breaches and fines for non-compliance with the laws.

Question 5

Why should I train my teams in online best practices?

Accepted Answer

Cybersecurity is often thought of as a set of technologies, but did you know that in 90% of attacks, humans are the weak link?

A single human error can compromise the security of an entire company, even if the IT systems are robust. Training your teams on good data protection practices helps reduce this risk. This training gives them the right reflexes to browse online securely and avoid mistakes that could put your company at risk.

Question 9

Is my organization too small to be of interest to cybercriminals?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not. Many SMBs think they are not targets, but in reality, they are often the first victims. Small businesses are often less protected, which leaves them vulnerable to random attacks.
Additionally, if you handle sensitive data or are a supplier to large enterprises, you may be the perfect gateway for cybercriminals.

Where should I start to ensure my business is compliant with Law 25?

Accepted Answer

The best place to start is with a consultation. Schedule a call or appointment so we can assess your compliance and data governance needs together. Every business is unique, and we’ll guide you through the first steps.

Question 11

My software is secure. Should I still use you?

Accepted Answer

Having secure software is a great start, but it’s not always enough. If your employees aren’t following best practices, or if data governance and protection measures aren’t in place, risks remain. For example, a weak or reused password can compromise the security of an entire system. It’s essential to support tool security with strong governance.
