Privacy & Security Consulting in Moncton

Moncton is the commercial heart of Atlantic Canada's most bilingual province, home to retail, logistics, financial services, and a growing technology sector that increasingly serves clients across the country and beyond. That commercial reach — organizations based in New Brunswick that handle personal information from customers, partners, and employees across multiple provinces — creates the kind of multi-jurisdictional privacy complexity that generic compliance templates don't solve well. PIPEDA governs most private-sector organizations in New Brunswick, with oversight by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. PIPEDA's accountability framework requires organizations to demonstrate that they collect, use, and disclose personal information responsibly — with the policies, governance, and trained staff to prove it, not just assert it.

New Brunswick's health sector is governed separately. The Personal Health Information Privacy and Access Act — PHIPAA — applies to health information custodians in the province and is overseen by the Office of the Ombud for New Brunswick. PHIPAA carries its own consent requirements, individual access rights, and privacy obligations for custodians handling personal health information. It is deemed substantially similar to PIPEDA for health information custodians, but operates under its own terms. Organizations providing technology or services to health custodians in New Brunswick need to understand precisely where PHIPAA applies to their activities and where PIPEDA governs — because those two frameworks do not map onto each other cleanly in every scenario.

Privacy Horizon helps Moncton-area organizations work through that complexity systematically. Our consulting engagements start with a clear picture of which laws apply to your business model, data flows, and sector — then move into the practical work of building programs that satisfy those requirements. We provide Virtual Privacy Officer and Virtual CISO services for organizations that need ongoing senior expertise without a full-time hire, as well as policy development, coaching, M&A privacy due diligence, and staff training calibrated for your team and the sectors you serve. New Brunswick's bilingual commercial environment shapes how we approach documentation and training where that matters for your organization.
