What is the PIPEDA + AI Compliance Checklist?
The PIPEDA + AI Compliance Checklist is a 34-point pre-deployment checklist that helps a business handling personal information under PIPEDA put AI into production responsibly. Every item is a plain-language yes/no question spanning data inventory, vendor assessment, consent, access controls, and incident response, and the checklist closes with Quebec Law 25 notes and a one-page ready/not-ready scorecard.
Who this is for
Canadian founders, operators, and IT decision-makers evaluating AI consulting or preparing an AI project for board approval. We built this out of our Automation Starter and AI Agents engagements so the documentation stays practical, not theoretical.
Frequently asked questions
What does a PIPEDA compliance check for AI cover?
It covers data inventory, vendor assessment, consent, purpose limitation, access controls, audit logging, and incident response. This checklist turns each of those areas into plain-language yes/no items, including vendor questions on residency, training-on-your-data, retention, and subprocessors, plus PIPEDA breach reporting and the 24-month record rule.
Does the checklist cover Quebec Law 25?
Yes. It includes Quebec Law 25 and provincial notes alongside the PIPEDA items, so businesses operating in Quebec or across provinces can check both in one pass.
What is the ready/not-ready scorecard?
It is a one-page summary at the end of the checklist that turns your 34 yes/no answers into a clear ready-or-not-ready verdict before you deploy AI on personal information. It gives you a defensible go/no-go artifact to share internally.
