Compliance & Data Protection
Compliance & Security
Civic Work Order / 311 is built from the ground up to meet the legislative, regulatory, and safety requirements that Canadian municipalities must satisfy for public works operations. Compliance is not an add-on — it is a foundational design principle. Delivered as a full source code licence, your municipality retains complete control over deployment, data, and security posture.
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 municipal service delivery obligations including records management, retention, and public reporting requirements. Service request tracking and resolution data supports accountability reporting. Real-time community issue map and SLA dashboards demonstrate municipal responsiveness.

Safety notes on work orders ensure field crews receive hazard information before arrival. Equipment tracking supports safe operation practices. Crew certification management ensures workers hold required qualifications for assigned tasks (confined space, elevation work, traffic control).
Ontario
Priority routing for water quality and water main break requests ensures compliance with response obligations under the Safe Drinking Water Act. Emergency dispatch for water-related requests with automated escalation. Water system work orders tracked with enhanced documentation.
Canada (Federal)
Consent management, data minimization, and breach notification workflows aligned with federal privacy requirements. Requester personal information protected with role-based access controls and field-level PII masking.
“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.”

- Data minimization — anonymous reporting option for non-trackable requests
- Right of access and correction workflows for requester data
- Breach notification workflows with configurable escalation timelines
- Data retention and disposal policies enforced at the system level
Ontario legislation governing access to municipal records and protection of personal privacy. Applied to service request records, work order data, and field crew documentation.
- Complete audit trail of all data access, modification, and disclosure events
- Records retention schedules aligned with Ontario municipal records management guidelines
- Requester PII protected with role-based access controls and field-level masking
- Data access logging tracks who viewed which requester information and when
- Legal hold capability prevents disposal of records subject to litigation or investigation
