1. Making the Digital Shift and complying with Bill 25
The transformation of society, based notably on the digital and technological revolution, is driving an increase in the flow of computer and digital exchanges. The new demands of commerce and the States have forced businesses to a greater level of innovation and more intense regulation to protect them in their business processes and allow them to remain competitive, efficient, and modern. Today, every company goes digital, driven by the imperatives of the digital economy, and put in place a governance plan including the appointment of a Privacy Officer, the implementation of privacy and confidentiality policies, privacy incident management, information transfer and access, security and information management policies.
Regulations and the market impose on businesses a responsibility to protect data and secure their systems. IT security is a vital issue for the survival and durability of the business. It is a fact that most businesses are or will be attacked by hackers. Faced with external and internal cyber threats, the company must imperatively ensure the cybersecurity of its information assets, which obviously includes the personal data collected during its activities. In fact, it is now legally required to secure data entering and leaving the business.
Pandemic and telework have disrupted the cybersecurity landscape and continue to drive mobile and virtual computing (telework). The demand for unified endpoint cybersecurity continues to grow and, at the same time, has become increasingly complex.
The implementation of an information governance program is an efficient and orderly way to undertake the digital shift and a lawyer is the best person to implement such a vehicle because records and information management is a specialized area of law: contact us to learn more!
