Privacy Impact Assessment Services in Moncton

Moncton's position as the commercial hub of a bilingual province, with organizations that routinely serve clients across Atlantic Canada and into national markets, creates a specific kind of privacy challenge: data flows that cross provincial and sector boundaries, often without a clear map of what obligations attach to which flows. A Privacy Impact Assessment builds that map and acts on it. It documents how personal information moves through your systems and to your vendors, identifies where that creates legal risk under the frameworks that apply to your organization, develops a plan to address those risks with practical controls, and produces documentation that demonstrates to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada that you approached a new initiative with genuine accountability. Under PIPEDA — the federal private-sector privacy law governing most New Brunswick businesses — that documentation is the most direct form of accountability evidence an organization can produce.

New Brunswick's health sector adds a second layer of obligation. The Personal Health Information Privacy and Access Act — PHIPAA — governs health information custodians in the province and is overseen by the Office of the Ombud for New Brunswick. PHIPAA is a health-sector law; it does not extend to general commercial activity. But for Moncton-based organizations that supply technology, services, or data systems to health custodians, PHIPAA obligations often surface in procurement requirements or contract terms before engagement proceeds. A PIA scoped to address both PHIPAA and PIPEDA — correctly drawing the line between what each framework governs — is frequently the document that unlocks a health-system procurement.

Privacy Horizon conducts Privacy Impact Assessments for Moncton organizations at the stage where they are most useful: before a new product launches, before a data-sharing arrangement is formalized, before a vendor relationship becomes operational. Our process delivers complete data flow mapping, risk identification that reflects the actual laws governing your organization, actionable mitigation recommendations, and regulator-ready documentation. For New Brunswick organizations operating in both official languages, we understand how that context shapes documentation and training requirements where it matters.
