The creation of the Digital Circle
Founded in Montreal in 2022, the Digital Circle is a group of experts who help organizations comply with the new provisions of Bill 25. This law requires organizations to be more transparent and accountable when it comes to protecting personal information.
This new reference point in the digital environment also allows Quebec businesses to implement strategies adapted to their needs to minimize the risks inherent in the management of personal information under their responsibility.

With Bill 25, these risks will increase considerably since, in the event of non-compliance, a company will also be exposed to severe administrative and penal sanctions, significant reputational damage in addition to being open to damage claims.
