How OneTrust helps


Law 25 requires organizations to make data breach notifications to Le Commission d’accès à l’information du Quebec, as well as to any affected individuals. This is also a focus under Bill C-27  as enforcement is set to change with respect to both the mitigation and reporting of breaches.

 

We help teams:
 

  • Streamline context collection for incident response efficiency 
  • Reduce incident recurrence with root cause analysis 
  • Simplify notifications 

Changes are coming in terms of the rights afforded to Canadians, bringing them more in line with other global standards like the GDPR.  

 

We help teams:

  • Empower customers with choice and control over their data 
  • Enable consumers to opt-out of third-party tracking technologies  
  • Automate all requests, whether from a consumer or employee, a request for access or deletion 

Both Quebec and the federal proposed Bill C-27 introduce requirements to undertake different assessments.  

 

We help teams:

 

  • Embed privacy impact assessments into existing business systems to capture context from stakeholders at the right time
  • Conduct threshold assessments to determine high-risk processing and trigger DPAs when relevant
  • Demonstrate compliance with real-time regulatory intelligence, insights, and analytics  

 

Consent is becoming more granular and aligning with other global standards.

 

We help teams:

  • Identify and maintain an evergreen inventory of all first- and third-party cookies and tracking technologies across your website
  • Leverage designed templates to create a seamless user experience with custom branding, support for more than 250 languages, and geolocation rules
  • As a centralized system of record, demonstrate proof of compliance with a detailed user consent transaction database

Data mapping, retention, and minimization — these have all been trends in enforcement recently, and the requirements around fundamental principles are becoming more explicit.

 

We help teams:

  • Maintain an up-to-date inventory of processing activities, assets, business entities, and vendors 
  • Reduce your sensitive data footprint with data retention policy automation 
  • Centralize privacy policies and notices to manage version control across your mobile and web properties
