Export and Import Controls System (EICS) - Privacy Impact Assessment: Global Affairs Canada

The Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) was developed as part of the Department’s commitment to protection of personal information. It also meets the Management of Information Technology Security requirements obligating departmental major services to undergo a security and privacy assessment at this point. A Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) was conducted on the Import Export Control Systems (EICS) in order to identify and assess possible privacy risks and mitigation measures, and ensuring compliance with the government’s privacy protection legislation and principles. While EICS is a large and complex operation, the assessment found no significant privacy risk, however, the assessment found low-level risks in areas of consent and collection that need to be mitigated. Proper mitigation strategies have been devised and planned to protect personal information in accordance with the Government’s policies and departmental guidelines.
