Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario Designates Route1 as Privacy by Design (PbD) Ambassador
October 10 2012 - 9:26AM
Business Wire
Route1 Inc. (TSXV: ROI) today announced that the Office of the
Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario has designated the
Company as a Privacy by Design (PbD) Ambassador for its commitment
to secure remote access and identity management, evidenced in the
development and success of the MobiKEY. A security and identity
management company, Route1 customers include both government and
military organizations in the U.S. and Canada, as well as private
sector businesses such as law firms, healthcare facilities and
financial institutions.
Privacy by Design, recently included by the U.S. Federal Trade
Commission as one of its three recommended practices for protecting
online privacy, is a framework developed by Dr. Ann Cavoukian,
Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario, Canada, to promote
the philosophy of embedding privacy proactively in technology
itself. MobiKEY’s core design elements mirror this philosophy as it
is the only device that allows data to be accessed remotely without
pulling it beyond an organization’s network, thus ensuring the user
privacy and data security.
MobiKEY provides multi-factor authentication to ensure the
identity of an individual attempting to remotely access data, which
integrates privacy protocols for both the user and the
institution.
“Now an international standard, Privacy by Design seeks to
proactively embed privacy into the design specifications of
information technology, accountable business practices and
networked infrastructure,” said Dr. Ann Cavoukian, Ontario’s
Information and Privacy Commissioner. “Without question, one of the
safest actions to take with regard to the mobile workforce is to
keep the data within the network and not allow it to be downloaded
onto a remote device. With MobiKEY, Route1 didn’t just meet a
strong standard for privacy, they exceeded it.”
The MobiKEY is a breakthrough in security for both Mac OS X and
Windows-based operating system users, who can now use the same data
protection technology utilized by the U.S. DoD, DHS, DoE, Canada’s
federal government, Coast Guard and a myriad of other government
and private sector businesses. It’s a simple equation; as users
leave no data footprint on the remote computer, they not only
safeguard their privacy, but also mitigate any risk of cyber attack
from any potential security breach.
“Route1 vehemently subscribes to Privacy by Design’s core belief
that privacy assurance must become the default mode of an
organization’s operation, and as such counts it a great honor to be
designated a Privacy by Design Ambassador,” said Tony Busseri, CEO
of Route1. “Humans are inherently fallible and errors are a simple
fact of life, which is why policy alone is not enough to protect
your organization. We developed the MobiKEY to specifically protect
against human errors and to help organizations effectively
implement their respective policies. ”
