Both the public and organizations are beginning to realize the value of their personal and corporate information and the risks in leaving it unguarded. Media coverage of privacy infractions and security breaches has skyrocketed - putting more pressure on organizations to become accountabile. As the custodian of your clients' personal information, their trust can be easily lost, but in can just as easily be won - turning responsible actions into a competitive advantage.

ISOMNI can help your organization proactively comply with impending privacy legislation. Numerous regulations have recently become law or are in the process of becoming law. These include broad privacy laws such as Canada's PIPEDA (formerly Bill C-6) and the European Union Directive on Data Protection or industry specific laws such as the U.S. HIPAA and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. Ensuring adequate privacy practices and standards can be a daunting undertaking. This includes monitoring the regulatory environment, creating privacy standards and documentation, establishing office procedures and training employees.
