PICCASO Canada

Privacy, InfoSec, Culture, Change & Awareness Societal Organisation

The PICCASO Awards Canada are the first in North America, celebrating the excellence in Canadian privacy thought leadership, policy and practice.

In recognition of the unique role Canada has played as a leader in privacy globally and regionally, it is fitting that the first international PICCASO Awards take place in Canada.

Whether it is leading legislation, thought leaders, privacy by design, organizational and privacy vendor innovations, Canada has had both national and global impact.

Brought to you by PICCASO in collaboration with The Privacy Pro, and with the support of the PICCASO Canada Advisory Board, this is a first of its kind recognition and celebration of the breadth and depth of the privacy expertise, leadership and innovation in data and privacy in Canada.

The PICCASO Awards recognize and celebrate what good looks like, opening up conversations about why a privacy culture should be at the heart of your privacy compliance & strategy, and how a culture of privacy can be embedded into organizations of all types and sizes.
