Compliance
Made Manageable.
Structura builds and maintains your clinic's PHIPA, PIPEDA & Quebec Law 25 privacy program, so a college inspector or privacy commissioner finds documented governance instead of a scramble. Canadian-hosted. Runs alongside your EMR. No compliance background required.

Know exactly where you stand, and when you'll be audit-ready.
One live readiness score, the controls that need attention, and a forecast date for when the clinic will be audit-ready. Every item that needs work tells you what to do, who owns it, and when it's due. No compliance background required.
- A single, always-current compliance score, not a binder you assemble in a panic.
- Each control maps to PHIPA and PIPEDA at once, so you enter a policy once and it counts everywhere.
- Every action has a named owner and a due date, so nothing sits unassigned.

One number tells you how exposed your clinic is right now
Structura scores every compliance category from low to critical risk, then rolls it up into a single health score. You see your biggest gap at a glance, and fix it before a regulator finds it.
Weighted across all compliance categories

Ontario issued its first PHIPA monetary penalties in 2025.
IPC Decision 298 (2025) penalised a physician ($5,000) and his clinic ($7,500), the first time monetary penalties were issued under PHIPA. The hospital named in the same case was not fined, because it could demonstrate documented privacy governance. That documented governance is exactly what Structura is designed to help your clinic build and maintain.
PHIPA fines can reach $500,000 for organisations under s.72(1). A documented program is your most defensible posture.
Canada's first-ever PHIPA monetary penalties issued — $5K physician, $7.5K clinic.

Every Canadian clinic carries three compliance regimes at once
Privacy law, regulatory-college standards, and cybersecurity expectations are each enforced on their own. A single incident can trigger a privacy-commissioner investigation and a college discipline proceeding at the same time. Few small clinics have the expertise to manage one of these regimes well, let alone all three.
Privacy statutes
PHIPA, PIPEDA, Law 25, HIA — 13–15 distinct frameworks across provinces. None has gone more than 4 years without amendment.
Regulatory colleges
Record-keeping and credential-currency standards enforced through complaints and discipline — a parallel, separate track.
Cybersecurity
CCCS baseline controls expected — yet only 26% of Canadian businesses had a written cyber policy in 2023.
What US compliance tools miss — and why it matters
Canada's privacy landscape is genuinely different from the US. Deploying a HIPAA-focused tool in a Canadian clinic leaves three critical gaps that regulators actively look for.
Canadian data residency
US tools route health data through US servers by default. Routing personal health information (PHI) outside Canada without a compliant transfer mechanism raises PHIPA exposure.
Structura stores and processes all data in Canadian data centres. Your clinic's health information never leaves Canada.
PHIPA designated contact + privacy-management program
HIPAA requires a Privacy Officer, but the PHIPA framework for Ontario clinics also requires an identified Privacy Contact, a documented privacy-management program, and proactive breach-risk assessments — none of which are built into US tools.
Structura's workflow library is built around the PHIPA privacy-management-program framework, including designated-contact assignment, breach-risk checklists, and annual program reviews.
Quebec Law 25 privacy impact assessments (PIAs)
Law 25 (An Act Respecting the Protection of Personal Information in the Private Sector) requires written Privacy Impact Assessments before any cross-border transfer of personal information. US GRC tools have no Law 25 PIA template or workflow.
Structura includes Law 25 PIA templates and tracks transfer assessments as a compliance control — automatically flagged when a clinic operates in or transfers data to Quebec.
Sources: Ontario IPC PHIPA guidance; Office of the Privacy Commissioner PIPEDA interpretation bulletins; Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec (CAI) Law 25 guidance. Structura's platform is designed to support — not guarantee — compliance with these frameworks.
One platform. Five integrated pillars.
A secure, cloud-based platform hosted in Canadian data-residency infrastructure. It works alongside the EMR a clinic already runs instead of replacing it, which removes the single biggest barrier to adoption.
Always know your next compliance task
PHIPA/PIPEDA and college-aligned checklists assigned to staff with reminders, evidence capture, and a baseline readiness score.
Never miss a licence or training expiry
Licences, CPR, WHMIS and privacy training with expiry reminders and completion evidence — closing college discipline exposure.
Find any policy or proof in seconds
One source of truth with version control, status tracking, and a full audit log of who viewed, edited, and acknowledged each document.
See your risk before a regulator does
Red/Amber/Green risk scoring, a PHIPA breach-reporting checklist, incident log, and CCCS-aligned cyber self-assessment.
Stay current without reading the law
Commissioner notices, college revisions and CCCS advisories summarised in plain language — convertible to a tracked task in one click.
From first assessment to audit-ready in four steps
Assess
An initial compliance assessment produces a baseline readiness score and an actionable, prioritized task list for the clinic.
Assign & Track
Tasks, credentials, and policies are assigned to named staff with due dates, automated reminders, and completion evidence.
Monitor
Risk dashboards and automated regulatory feeds flag drift before it becomes exposure — across every province the clinic operates in.
Demonstrate
Export an evidence package ready for a college inspection, commissioner inquiry, or insurer — on demand.

Clinic-grade governance. Not enterprise pricing.
Cost of inaction: A privacy consultant typically charges $5,000–$15,000/year for a clinic assessment — with no ongoing monitoring. PHIPA fines can reach $500,000 for organisations (s.72(1)). Structura starts at $2,388/year (Base plan, billed monthly) with continuous automated monitoring included.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a guaranteed-compliance product?
No. Structura helps you build and maintain a documented PHIPA privacy-management program. Compliance is a continuous practice, not a product feature. We help you do the work — a regulator or college inspector ultimately decides.
Why $2,388/year vs a consultant?
A privacy consultant engagement for a small clinic typically runs $5,000–$15,000 per year — and that's just the assessment, not ongoing monitoring or evidence updates. Structura provides continuous, automated monitoring and evidence capture at $199–$599/clinic/month, with no per-hour billing. Consultant estimates are industry ranges; your situation may differ.
What happens if there's a PHIPA breach while I'm on Structura?
Structura provides a PHIPA breach-response checklist and incident log. The decision to report, the report itself, and any regulatory communication remain with you and your designated Privacy Contact — and, as appropriate, your legal counsel. We don't file reports on your behalf.
Does Structura replace my EMR?
No. Structura is a compliance and privacy-governance layer that sits alongside your EMR — TELUS Health, Jane, OSCAR, and others. It manages your governance obligations; your EMR manages clinical records.
Is patient data stored in Structura?
Structura is designed to hold compliance program data: policies, evidence uploads, staff credentials, risk assessments, and audit logs. It is not an EMR or a patient-record system, and we encourage clinics not to upload identifiable patient health records.
Is there a contract or can I cancel?
We are currently in a pilot-partner phase and working through our commercial terms. Reach out for current terms — we are committed to fair, transparent pricing without hidden fees.
Does Structura cover Quebec Law 25?
Yes. Structura includes Law 25 aligned workflows, PIA (Privacy Impact Assessment) templates, and required privacy-officer publication controls for clinics with Quebec operations or data transfers.
Where is my data hosted?
All data is hosted in Canadian data centres. Your clinic's compliance data does not leave Canada.
Built to the standard regulators, colleges, and insurers expect
PHIPA & PIPEDA aligned
