Read the blog →PIPEDA is Canada’s federal private-sector privacy law, overseen by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
It governs how businesses collect, use, and disclose personal information in the course of commercial activity, and its breach-reporting obligations have real teeth. We get your consent practices, safeguards, and breach process aligned so privacy is handled properly, not improvised. We run it in two phases: a Phase 1 gap assessment against PIPEDA that produces a findings register, then Phase 2 remediation scoped from those findings.
how you obtain, document, and manage consent
You come away with consent practices, safeguards, and a breach-response process that hold up to OPC scrutiny and buyer questions. If you operate in Quebec, we flag where Law 25 adds obligations beyond PIPEDA so you address both instead of being surprised later.
The price above covers the work. It also covers where the work lives, which most buyers are quoted separately as an annual platform subscription.

Platform pricing is a publicly reported range, since none of them publish a number. The fuller comparison, including when a paid platform is the better buy, is on the Workspace page.
PIPEDA is the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, Canada’s federal law governing how private-sector organizations collect, use, and disclose personal information in commercial activities. It is enforced by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
Yes. Organizations must report breaches of security safeguards that pose a real risk of significant harm to affected individuals and to the Privacy Commissioner, and keep records of breaches. We help you build a process that meets these obligations.
PIPEDA is the federal law; Quebec’s Law 25 is provincial and in several areas imposes stricter or additional requirements. If you handle the personal information of people in Quebec, Law 25 may apply on top of or instead of PIPEDA, and we account for both.
No. PIPEDA is a law, not a certification scheme, so there is no PIPEDA certificate. Readiness means having documented consent practices, safeguards, and a breach process you can demonstrate to the regulator and to customers.
