Law 25 - Governance and compliance

Description

Law 25 (formerly Bill 64) is a Québec legislative reform that modernizes existing provisions relating to the protection of personal information. It has been coming into force progressively since September 2022.
The protection of personal information is now a legal obligation for all organizations subject to this law.

In this context, the role of the Person Responsible for the Protection of Personal Information (PRPPI) is central within the organization. It is no longer merely a formal designation, but a strategic function involving the implementation of structured governance, oversight of organizational practices, and management of risks related to personal information.

This training is intended for the Person Responsible for the Protection of Personal Information (PRPPI), as well as for individuals called upon to assume this responsibility. Its objective is to support participants in understanding legal requirements and structuring a compliance approach tailored to their organization, particularly with respect to the collection, use, disclosure, retention, and protection of personal information in the workplace.

The training covers, in particular:

  • The legal framework and fundamental principles of Law 25
  • Identification and management of personal information
  • Rules governing collection, use, disclosure, and consent
  • Implementation of policies, registers, and governance mechanisms
  • Management of privacy incidents and reporting obligations
  • Rights of individuals and organizational responsibilities

Through structured modules, practical tools, and real-world examples, this training enables participants to move from theoretical understanding to operational implementation.
It is part of a proactive governance approach aimed at protecting the organization, its leadership, and the individuals concerned, while strengthening an internal culture of compliance.
