Privacy Legislation Compliance

How can I ensure my company is compliant with Privacy Legislation?

Legislation associated with personal privacy is complex and in a constant state of change. Federal privacy laws such as HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) that took effect in early 2001has privacy legislation governing the collection, use and disclosure of personal protected health information (PHI).

TAB professionals can show you how to institute information management practices that will ensure compliance with all the relevant privacy legislation that effects your company.

TAB can help
TAB’s Certified Records Managers (CRM) can help you implement a records management program that will demonstrate due diligence, and ensure compliance with Federal privacy legislation. We will set up the right policies and procedures, train your employees, and implement a monitoring system to ensure compliance.

Analyse, Classify, Retain
TAB starts by assessing business functions and processes with your key stakeholders. We then develop a classification scheme to better organize your information taking relevant laws into account. The classification is the structure that identifies your corporate records holdings and works as a “sign post,” to clearly identify information and facilitate hardcopy and electronic filing, retrieval and archiving.

A proper classification scheme will ensure that your records are compliant with privacy legislation affecting your company. Once classification is complete TAB develops a plan including a retention strategy will help you identify the records that need to be kept, how they should be stored and protected, and when you can legally dispose of them.

Manage your risk
TAB ensures that your information management practices are compliant with privacy legislation. We develop comprehensive programs outlining everything from duplication and dispersal requirements, through storage and access restrictions to the eventual destruction of records no longer deemed vital as outlined by a retention schedule.
