Consulting
AI Strategy and Policy
for Canadian Institutions
XPawn helps healthcare, public sector, and post-secondary organizations adopt AI in a way that stands up to Ontario regulation, internal audit, and public trust.
Two things are true at once.
AI is changing what your organization can do. At the same time, Ontario's Bill 194 and ongoing FIPPA updates are changing what responsible adoption must look like. Your privacy officer, CIO, and executive team now face questions that did not exist eighteen months ago. XPawn helps you answer them with confidence.
Services
What we deliver
Six focused engagements that cover assessment, compliance, and implementation. Bundled or standalone.
Bill 194 Compliance Review
Full audit of your AI footprint against Ontario Bill 194 cybersecurity and public trust requirements. Gap analysis, remediation roadmap, and executive briefing.
FIPPA AI Privacy Assessment
AI-specific privacy impact assessments aligned with FIPPA and recent updates. Built alongside your privacy officer, ready for internal review and external scrutiny.
AI Governance Framework
Policies, approval workflows, and risk registers for AI deployment. Covers procurement, vendor review, acceptable use, and incident response.
Guardrails and Controls
Technical and procedural guardrails for AI systems in production. Data handling, human review checkpoints, logging, and auditability by design.
Internal Systems Audit
Inventory and assessment of the AI tools already inside your organization. We catalogue, risk-rank, and recommend action on shadow AI and vendor tools alike.
Staff Training and Readiness
AI literacy for leadership, privacy officers, and frontline staff. Curriculum built around your policies, your tools, and your sector.
What you get
Concrete deliverables, not slide decks
Every XPawn engagement ends with artifacts your team can actually use. Documents your privacy officer can sign off on. Policies your legal team can approve. Training your staff can complete.
