Cybersecurity Law 25 Compliance wi_th LightBeam

Quebec’s Law 25 requires a rigorous policy on corporate governance practices regarding personal information protection. In this context, the LightBeam tool proves essential for achieving compliance. LightBeam’s main advantage lies in its ability to provide a 360-degree view of sensitive data, such as personally identifiable information (PII). This feature is particularly beneficial in cases where data resides in multiple locations, and the organization lacks a detailed view of the risks associated with this data, a key requirement of Law 25.

Unlike siloed solutions, LightBeam allows for linking the cataloging, control, and compliance of sensitive data across structured and unstructured data applications. This integrated approach offers complete visibility, information redaction, self-service Data Subject Requests (DSR), and Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) analysis reports, ensuring optimal protection against ransomware and accidental exposures, while effectively meeting data privacy obligations.

Automation of Personal Information Protection

The automation of personal information protection offered by LightBeam proves not only effective but also cost-efficient. Investing in a solution like LightBeam can lead to a significant return on investment by reducing costs associated with manual compliance management and minimizing the risk of costly data protection violations. This is particularly relevant in contexts where data is dispersed and risk monitoring is complex.

LightBeam’s Spectra engine, using artificial intelligence and machine learning, cross-references all data fragments and builds an identity-centric PII graph for each entity (customers, employees, partners, patients, students), thus ensuring a continuous 360-degree view. This capability makes LightBeam indispensable for organizations seeking to comply with Law 25, as it provides the necessary tools for consistent, efficient, and legally compliant personal data management.

Privacy Ops to Help Automate Workflows

LightBeam’s Privacy Ops features directly correspond to Law 25 provisions:

Autonomous management of data subject requests respects the right of access and rectification provided by the Law.

Creation of Record of Processing Activities (ROPA) reports meets the obligation to document data processing procedures.

– Automation of Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) corresponds to the requirement to assess data protection risks.

Consent management and cookie consent ensure compliance with Law 25’s consent standards.

Data breach notification follows Law 25’s directive on mandatory notification in case of data leaks or breaches.

Beyond the protection of personal information, LightBeam excels in managing all types of sensitive data specific to each organization. Its versatility allows companies to customize compliance parameters according to their specific needs, thus covering a wide range of sensitive data types beyond just personal information. This makes LightBeam a comprehensive and adaptable solution, perfect for organizations seeking to comply not only with Law 25, but also with other regulations or internal requirements related to sensitive data management.
