PIA Services
A Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) is a due diligence report that outlines the privacy risks and safeguards across your organization or within a specific project. It helps you understand where gaps exist and what needs addressing.
A PIA is often required if your organization handles personal information and:
- Receives frequent vendor risk or due diligence assessments
- Operates across provinces or states with differing privacy requirements
- Supplies technology, software, or data-enabled solutions to regulated sectors such as Government or Healthcare
- Launches new projects, tools or partnerships involving personal or sensitive information
An effective PIA service provides clarity, actionable guidance and a clear roadmap to compliance.
What’s the challenge? Too many PIAs rely on generic templates that don’t reflect the reality of your organization’s operations, risks, and sector-specific requirements.
