Personal information and AI systems now sit in the same places. Assistants read company data, agents act through connected systems, and Canadian privacy law applies to both.
ascio assesses the privacy and security risk of how data is handled, engineers the technical protections and tests AI systems and agents before and after release.
You're introducing AI tools or agents.
A new project will collect or move personal information.
You need to know where your data is stored and who can reach it.
What we do
Privacy impact assessments
The personal information a project or system collects, where it goes and the risks it creates, assessed in the form PIPEDA and Quebec's Law 25 expect.
Data residency reviews
Where your data is stored, processed and backed up, including by suppliers, mapped against your contractual and legal requirements.
Data protection engineering
Encryption, key management, data loss prevention, retention and deletion configured in the systems that hold personal information.
AI system security testing
Assistants and agents tested for prompt injection, data leakage, excessive permissions and unsafe tool use before release.
AI agent restrictions
Technical restrictions that keep agents within the data and actions you approve, with activity logging and monitoring.
Privacy breach investigation
What personal information was affected and how, established technically to support your notification decisions.
Defined scope projects
Work in this area with a stated scope and deliverables.
