SecureKey Designated as a Privacy by Design (PbD) Organizational Ambassador
SecureKey authentication solutions meet the core principles prescribed by PbD by enhancing information security and protecting consumer privacy
(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 11/07/12 -- GTEC (booth #527) - SecureKey Technologies Inc. today announced that it has joined an exclusive but growing group of privacy thought-leaders committed to ensuring the ongoing protection of personal information by following the Principles of Privacy by Design.
Privacy by Design is a concept that was developed by Ontario's Information and Privacy Commissioner, Dr. Ann Cavoukian, back in the 90's, to address the ever-growing and systemic effects of Information and Communication Technologies, and of large-scale networked data systems. It has since grown into a tangible and functioning reality, with a robust framework of principles and implementation guidelines. Many public and private sector organizations have adopted the principles of PbD, representing diverse fields, from specific technologies or organizational practices, to entire information ecosystems and architectures.
"I am delighted to welcome SecureKey Technologies as a PbD Ambassador. The company has built strong cryptographic authentication into its innovative products that is consistent with the principles of my Privacy by Design framework. SecureKey recognizes that personal data are best protected when strong privacy safeguards are built into new technologies, without sacrificing client convenience."
The objectives of Privacy by Design's 7 Foundational Principles are:
"SecureKey's innovative solutions for authentication, payment and identity are, at their very core, intended to proactively address privacy. This philosophy is central to the entire culture of the organization", said Charles Walton, CEO, SecureKey. "We are honoured to be a Privacy by Design Ambassador."
