Information governance and privacy are essential for responsible data use, digital trust, and regulatory accountability. Poor governance can create privacy harms, security gaps, bias concerns, weak records control, and increased exposure during audits, incidents, or automated decision-making.
The Information Governance and Privacy course covers data types, privacy foundations, Canadian privacy law, AI governance, automation risks, cybersecurity safeguards, breach governance, cloud and vendor oversight, records retention, and sector-specific governance considerations.
Learners will understand how privacy, data governance, AI oversight, protection controls, and stewardship responsibilities support accountable information practices. Certification is provided upon successful completion of the course.
