On September 22 (2022), the new law 25 came into force in Quebec with a view to modernizing and securing the processes for managing your computer documents. This law applies primarily to protect the personal information of your employees and your customers. It requires you to identify and document the processes you will use. Heavy fines will be issued in the event of non-compliance with this law, in addition to possibly being sued by the parties concerned.
IMPORTANT: This law is not an option; it is a legal obligation to comply with it!
This law will be deployed over 3 years, in 3 distinct stages. (Below, simplified):
This law will be implemented gradually and applies to all businesses in Quebec, regardless of their size. It will make you aware of the issues and risks of computing today and will have to offer, for the good of all in Quebec, a reliable and secure digital place.
This law is not to be taken lightly. The consequences of non-compliance with this law could cost you heavy losses from a financial and criminal point of view, and even in terms of your insurance, which could see their premiums increase significantly if you do not comply!
