Article: Enterprises prep for PIPEDA panic

This article from ITBusiness.ca has some interesting things to say. I tend to agree with with its theme; the greatest risk that most businesses face from PIPEDA is the significant potential for damaging -- if not ruining an organization's reputation and trust with stakeholders. The Commissioner may not decide to publicly castigate a particular business, but we've certainly seen a willingness of the aggrieved to contact the press on their own. With increased awareness of privacy issues, the media are starting to listen to disgruntled customers.
"Time's up: If you haven't become compliant with Canada's new privacy law, you could run what one lawyer calls 'headline risk.' Will warding off the dangers become a full-time job?"
