Practical PHIPA compliance support for private healthcare clinics in Ontario

What we do

We help small private clinics identify privacy risks under PHIPA, document their data practices, and put simple, practical compliance systems in place.

Every clinic is different, so we tailor our approach to your workflows and existing systems.

The goal is simple: identify risks, fix gaps, and reduce exposure without adding unnecessary complexity.


Privacy Risk Assessment (Entry Service)

A fast, structured review of your clinic’s current privacy setup to identify immediate risk areas.

  • Patient data handling review (how information actually flows)
  • Digital systems check (email, EMR, booking tools)
  • Common PHIPA compliance gaps
  • High-level risk summary (1–2 page report)

Outcome: Clear visibility into your biggest privacy risks and what to fix first.

Investment: $280 – $900


Compliance Gap Analysis & Action Plan (Core Service)

A prioritized roadmap showing exactly what needs to be fixed first to reduce risk efficiently.

  • Staff training gaps
  • Policy and documentation gaps
  • Vendor and system risk review
  • Step-by-step remediation plan

Outcome: A clear execution plan from current state → compliant operations.

Investment: $1,200 – $2,500


Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) (Secondary Service)

A formal Privacy Impact Assessment documenting how patient data is collected, stored, accessed, and shared across your clinic systems.

  • End-to-end patient data flow mapping
  • Risk analysis across systems and vendors
  • PHIPA compliance gap assessment
  • Documentation suitable for audit or regulatory review

Outcome: A structured compliance foundation that demonstrates due diligence under PHIPA.

Typical engagement: Project-based (varies by clinic size and complexity)

Investment: $3,500 – $6,000


Staff Privacy Training (Secondary Service)

Practical training designed for clinic staff handling personal health information day-to-day.

  • PHIPA fundamentals explained simply
  • Real-world clinic scenarios (email, intake, records access)
  • Common breach prevention practices

Outcome: Reduced human error and stronger day-to-day compliance.

Investment: $500 (1–5 staff) / $750 (6–10 staff) / $1,000 (11–20 staff)


Privacy Breach Management (Reactive Service)

We help clinics respond to privacy breaches in a structured and compliant way, ensuring proper documentation, reporting, and internal handling.

  • Breach assessment and severity evaluation
  • Guidance on PHIPA reporting requirements
  • Documentation and incident tracking
  • Process improvements to prevent future breaches

Outcome: A clear, compliant response process that reduces risk and ensures your clinic is prepared to handle breaches properly.

Investment: $200 – $2,500 (depending on severity and scope)
