Toronto, Canada, October 3, 2024 – A recent study reveals that the Canadian fintech sector is facing skyrocketing security incident costs, with breach losses nearing an average of $6 million per incident. To combat this growing threat, Managed Privacy Canada (MPC) is proud to announce the launch of www.fintechprivacy.ca, a new platform designed to help fintech companies reduce their exposure to data breaches and safeguard their operations against escalating security threats.
Privacy reform is a game changer in Canada. Access and download the recent OPC guidance on Bill C-27 from the FintechPrivacy.ca site and make informed privacy compliance decisions.
