The Benefits of e-Conveyancing: Discussion

12:35 pm

Mr. Dennis Barnhart:

It could be out of my league from an information technology perspective. We have never had a security breach and we have the highest levels of security in place. I have attended a presentation by our IT department detailing these issues and we are willing to meet whatever certification is necessary. We meet such certification today, and the governments of Ontario and Manitoba have the same interests. We have the associated policies, processes, procedures and certification necessary to ensure confidence that the data will not be compromised, as we are safeguarding them. We have not had any issues and we invest heavily wherever we work. Our reputation is ultimately at stake and one cyber attack that leads to data being accessed inappropriately would have a global impact on our reputation.
