A recommendation from the Saskatchewan Information and Privacy Commissioner caught our eye
A data breach at Autism Services of Saskatoon exposed the personal information of more than 2,000 people. Saskatchewan's Information and Privacy Commissioner reviewed the incident and found the organization responded appropriately, notifying those affected and improving its security systems.
Why this matters: People who use autism services are not a random cross-section of the public. Their records can include diagnoses, behavioral histories, and details about children and families. That is sensitive information in a way that goes beyond a leaked email address. The organization did the right things after the breach. The harder question is what security looked like before it happened, and whether nonprofits handling this kind of data are getting the resources and scrutiny they actually need.
