What this preview shows

This preview illustrates how data sovereignty can be converted into policy language, approval thresholds, vendor clauses, access review requirements, and breach response rules.

Best fit

Communities ready to formalize data classification, vendor requirements, access approvals, and governance accountability.

Tier 4: Deployment & Data Governance

Data Classification

The sample gives leaders and staff a shared vocabulary for deciding which data needs stronger protection and who must approve access or sharing.

  • Membership, housing, social services, health, and governance records are classified separately
  • Approval thresholds are tied to sensitivity level
  • Vendor and staff access reviews are scheduled quarterly rather than handled ad hoc

Vendor Data Requirements

The governance sample translates sovereignty principles into draftable contract language and operating expectations.

  • Data ownership remains with the community
  • Canadian data residency is documented where required
  • Data export, breach notification, subprocessor disclosure, and deletion terms are tracked
