Compliance & Data Protection
Security & Compliance
Built for Ontario municipal emergency management compliance — EMCPA, O.Reg. 380/04, MFIPPA, AODA — with Canadian-hosted infrastructure, SOC 2 Type II audit, and comprehensive security architecture protecting critical emergency data.
Canadian Municipal Compliance
Municipal & Provincial Regulations
Purpose-built for Canadian municipalities, with full alignment to federal, provincial, and municipal legislation governing public-sector data management.
Ontario
Full compliance with the EMCPA — the primary provincial statute governing municipal emergency management in Ontario. Supports mandatory requirements for emergency plans, programs, CCG composition, training, exercises, annual reporting, and Head of Council emergency declaration authority.
Ontario
Meets all standards set out in O.Reg. 380/04 including annual training for Community Control Group members, annual exercises, plan review and update requirements, public education programs, and critical infrastructure identification.
Ontario
Digital workflows supporting the Head of Council's authority to declare a municipal emergency under EMCPA s.4 — including provincial notification requirements, OFMEM reporting, and declaration publication to the public.
Ontario
Supports CEMC role requirements under EMCPA s.7.0.1 — program administration, plan maintenance, training coordination, exercise management, annual compliance reporting, and liaison with OFMEM and the Provincial Emergency Operations Centre (PEOC).
Ontario
WCAG 2.1 AA compliance across all public-facing emergency communications and digital services. Accessible emergency notifications, evacuation plans addressing persons with disabilities, and reception centre services with accessibility accommodations.
Ontario
All personal information collected during emergency operations — evacuee registration, volunteer registration, damage assessment — stored and managed in compliance with MFIPPA. Role-based access controls, audit logging, and data retention policies.
Ontario
Worker safety compliance for emergency response personnel — exposure tracking, incident reporting, safety equipment management, and duty-to-report requirements for emergency workers and volunteers during response operations.
“Compliance is not a feature we bolted on after launch — it is the architectural foundation every line of code is written against. Canadian municipalities deserve a platform that treats their legislative obligations as first-class requirements.”
