Internet Surveillance Hurts Canadian Business Compliance: Experts Offer $40,000 Incentive to Help Protect Customer Privacy
TORONTO, June 19, 2013 /CNW/ - Canadian businesses are waking up to the grim reality that they are vastly more responsible for the privacy of customer data in light of new Internet surveillance revelations. One of Canada's most respected advisory firms has discounted its consulting services by $1500 to help 30 organizations comply with Canada's privacy laws and help restore customer confidence.
"The impact of pervasive Internet snooping on Canadian businesses and on our citizens is surprisingly significant. Knowingly sending customer data across the wire is now akin to disclosing it without authorization" said Claudiu Popa, one of Canada's best known security experts and president of Informatica.
Mr. Popa works with Canadian enterprises, associations and agencies to address security issues that impact privacy compliance. "Canadian companies now feel both paranoid and complicit about their communications. I encourage executives and business owners to take advantage of our $500 (reg.$2000) consultation before June 30 because privacy compliance is not just about the law, it's also about your credibility, brand reputation and customer confidence". Claudiu Popa, is a Canadian author, speaker and lecturer. His latest book "Managing Personal Information" (PrivacyRisk.ca) addresses similar business challenges.
