| All corporations and organizations in Canada must comply with legislation concerning how they collect, use and disclose information about identifiable individuals and third parties. Public-sector institutions are also legally obligated to provide public right of access to their information resources. Ignorance of and/or failure to comply with legislative provisions concerning the use of these resources may expose an organization to financial, legal and public relations risks.
This instructor-led online course discusses, in practical terms, best management and protection of personal and sensitive information as well as access to public-sector information. Participants are provided with knowledge and tools to ensure proper control over organizational information resources and compliance with legislative requirements.
This is a comprehensive course balancing text, online group discussions, and exercises that allow participants to practice what they're learning. Participants are provided with practical materials to use at their respective worksites, including access to information and privacy protection audit tools, sample forms, and sample compliance-related deliverables.
