Compliance & Data Protection
Ontario-compliant from Day One
Every application built on Civic Low-Code Platform inherits enterprise-grade security, MFIPPA-compliant audit trails, WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility enforcement, and Canadian data residency — automatically. No compliance gaps from shadow IT or unmanaged spreadsheets.
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, Canada
Every application, form, and citizen portal built on the platform is automatically validated against WCAG 2.1 AA standards. Non-compliant applications cannot be published. Automated accessibility testing runs on every save.
Ontario, Canada
Every form submission, workflow action, data access, and configuration change is fully auditable. Complete chain-of-custody for all citizen data with retention schedules, consent tracking, and MFIPPA-ready export for FOI requests.
Ontario, Canada
Proper record-keeping and retention aligned with legislative requirements. Version control ensures every application version is preserved. Deployment audit trails satisfy record management obligations.
Canada (Federal)
Consent management built into form submissions — configurable privacy statements, opt-in/opt-out tracking, and data access controls. Role-based access ensures only authorized staff see personal information.
Ontario, Canada
Communication opt-in tracking through form consent fields, subscription management integration, and auditable consent records satisfy CASL requirements for any notification workflows built on the platform.
Ontario, Canada
Aligned with the Ontario Government's Cyber Security Framework: data encryption at rest and in transit, MFA enforcement, RBAC, vulnerability scanning, incident response procedures, and regular penetration testing.
Ontario, Canada
Applications built on the platform align with the Ontario Digital Service Standard — user-centred design, accessibility, bilingual support (en/fr), performance measurement, and iterative improvement built into every builder workflow.
“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.”
