Privacy Compliance Tool
The Privacy Compliance Tool is designed to help OPS ministries and clusters with projects that may require a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA).
The Privacy Compliance Tool enables you to start your privacy analysis early and build privacy requirements into your project plan, business processes, and design requirements.
This tool will help you to:
- Assess whether your project involves personal information,
- Identify sources of privacy risk in your project,
- Assess compliance with the privacy rules set out in the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA), and
- Analyze and summarize preliminary findings for senior management.
The Privacy Compliance Tool is developed in Excel. An overview of the tool is provided in the supporting presentation.
