PHIPA requires mandatory breach notification to the Ontario Information and Privacy Commissioner and affected patients if PHI is stolen, accessed without authorization, or lost. We provide documented breach response playbooks, forensic investigation capability, and IPC notification guidance — and our cybersecurity stack is designed to detect breaches within minutes, not months.
PHIPA requires that every access to patient health information be logged — who accessed it, when, and from which device. We deploy immutable audit logging across your EMR, file server, and cloud storage. Role-based access ensures clinical staff only see patient records relevant to their role, and every anomalous access event triggers an alert to your privacy officer.
Patient health information must remain under Canadian legal jurisdiction. We configure Microsoft 365 and Azure with Canadian data residency (Toronto and Quebec City data centres), use Canadian-hosted backup infrastructure, and ensure no PHI routes through US-based cloud services. We document all data flows for your PHIPA records.
Healthcare is the most ransomware-targeted sector in Canada. Attackers know that encrypted patient records create immediate operational crises — and that clinics will pay to restore them. Our multi-layer defence is designed specifically for the medical environment, where you cannot simply shut down systems and wait.
Any third-party vendor that handles your patient data — cloud providers, backup services, email platforms — must sign a BAA committing to PHIPA-compliant data handling. We manage vendor compliance reviews and ensure every technology in your stack has the appropriate agreements in place before PHI flows through it.
