In May 2026, Canada’s Privacy Commissioner found that OpenAI’s initial training of ChatGPT contravened PIPEDA. Most professional services businesses have employees using public AI tools with client data every day — with no policy and no oversight. Trueline IT delivers a documented AI Acceptable Use Policy, shadow AI audit, and ongoing compliance management as standard. No add-ons. No shortcuts.
76% of employees admit to using unauthorized AI tools at work. Most of their managers don't know. — IBM Institute for Business Value, 2025
Sound familiar?
Most professional services businesses have no AI policy, no visibility into what tools their team is using, and no idea how much client data has already left the building. Here's what managing partners tell us every week.
The Information and Privacy Commissioner and the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security both require documented security controls for any organization handling personal data.
Employees paste contracts, financials, and client notes into public AI tools every day. You didn't authorize it. You don't know how much has already left the building.
Insurers are now asking which AI tools your team uses, what policies are in place, and who is responsible. Insurers are starting to ask about AI use at renewal.
You didn't have a good answer. Neither does most of your competition — yet. The businesses that get ahead of this question will win the clients who ask it.

Common questions
PIPEDA is Canada's federal private-sector privacy law. It applies to most businesses that collect personal information in commercial activity. We help you document and reduce privacy risk. We don't provide legal advice.
You pay a fixed monthly fee — not per user. It doesn't matter if you add two people or ten. Your bill is the same every month. No surprise invoices, no per-seat charges, no enterprise consulting retainers.
Even better. We audit what you already have, identify what's creating risk, configure what's safe, and shut down what isn't. You keep the tools your team loves — just without the liability.
We respond to urgent issues as quickly as we can during business hours, and to everything else within one business day. You will always hear back from a real person who knows your business.
