I knew that the privacy laws in Canada were pretty strict, at least when compared with the U.S. variants 😉 Although compared to the E.U. they are lacking in that the privacy commissioners don’t have the power to impose fines on offenders. This could be changing as there is some pressure now to change this. Read more in the Financial Post.
Eh, yes I was. Sorry 🙂
Martin concerning your first comment…. are you not referring to the EU privacy laws and fines imposed here?
I’ve had some issues getting into my own blog and been trying to post every day since my last post! Anyhow I think that I have resolved it now!
Yes I’m back Martin 🙂
Also, nice to see you posting again Karen!
Interesting.
Companies already pay for these breaches though, as the article details. But it would make it easier for us professionals to calculate a minimum cost for breach when we do the business case for implementing better security 🙂
