Worker's Safety and Compensation Board Yukon (WSCB) data in People, Metrics, Analytics and Projects (PMAP)

Privacy Impact Assessment #: PSC-PIA-2023-01
Public Body Name : Public Service Commission
Date of Approval: Tuesday, February 21, 2023

The People, Metrics, Analytics and Projects (PMAP) Branch within the Public Service Commission (PSC) is responsible for providing information to senior leaders and decision makers to enable evidence and data-based decisions. The branch will use Worker's Safety and Compensation Board (WSCB) data and transform it into illustrative and dynamic models. These models will assist senior management with evidence-based decision making.

The benefit of evidence-based data is that strategic planning and resources can be targeted to address specific workplace and business issues. For example, the analysis of accidents versus lack of training uptake by staff may justify mandatory training. Without metrics, resources may be randomly applied to initiatives that may not address gaps. Evidence-based data therefore facilitates efficient use of resources towards impactful business and workplace solutions.

Yukon Dental Program

Privacy Impact Assessment #: HSS-PIA-2022-11
Public Body Name : Health and Social Services
Date of Approval: Friday, December 30, 2022

Many Yukoners have some type of access to extended health benefits through their employer, with benefits that cover services such as prescription drugs, dental care, vision care, physiotherapy, optometry, and necessary medical equipment. However, not everyone has access to these benefits, which can make it difficult to afford these services. Without these basic health services Yukoners can have poor health outcomes, including pain, poor nutrition, increased risk for certain chronic diseases, as well as poorer quality of life. Unemployment, temporary employment and low wage employment situations are often associated with lack of benefits. People who do not have these benefits through their employer are also the least likely to be able to afford paying out-of-pocket for these services.

Yukon Heritage Information System

Privacy Impact Assessment #: TC-PIA-2022-03
Public Body Name : Tourism and Culture
Date of Approval: Thursday, December 22, 2022

The Historic Sites unit (Historic Sites) with the Department of Tourism and Culture (T&C) provides for the research, preservation, management, development and interpretation of Yukon's historic places. Historic Sites takes part in implementing the Historic Resources Act and the Government of Yukon heritage obligations under the Umbrella Final Agreement and the individual First Nation final agreements. This work is assisted by multiple research and site record databases, including the Yukon Historic Site Inventory (YHSI) application and additional research and interpretive site management databases.
A Yukon Heritage Information System (YHSI or the Database) review project, completed in 2020, determined that the current databases needed to be upgraded. The current project aims to create a reliable and secure online application to store historical and current information about the historic sites in Yukon. The goal is to provide a central repository of all historic sites databases with options for controlled access to protect sensitive information as well as for subsets of information to be made publicly available, while ensuring the security of all data.
The System will also be linked to the Yukon Register of Historic Places (Register), which is a publicly accessible database, found at http://register.yukonhistoricplaces.ca/. The information contained on the Registry is required to be shared under section 24 and 55 of the Historic Resources Act.

Privacy Impact Assessment #: HSS-PIA-2022-10
Public Body Name : Health and Social Services
Date of Approval: Wednesday, December 21, 2022

The Government of Yukon ("YG") has purchased Microsoft E3 licensing and has implemented the Microsoft 365 suite of cloud services (M365) across the government departments, including Health and Social Services ("HSS"). HPW will manage M365 on behalf of HSS and other YG departments. M365 offers state-of-the-art information technology services which will enable YG to achieve better outcomes, while lowering the overall cost and complexity of YG's IT services. In addition, MS holds the highest levels of industry-level certifications with regards to information security: ISO 27001 and 270018, FedRAMP, SOC 1 and 2 and Cloud Security Alliance's STAR Certification.

Microsoft provides all the infrastructure, including all the applications, operating system, cloud management, and network software, including the server and storage hardware elements required to support these software components. Microsoft has no standing access to the service components that YG is responsible for, namely, applications configurations, and all applications data in their cloud SaaS solution. MS only interacts with customer data under exceptional circumstances for the purpose of providing support services when a problem cannot be self-remedied by the customer's own IT or inhouse support teams.

This PIA will focus on HSS' use of the M365 products, as managed on their behalf by the HPW. It is a companion PIA that will focus exclusively on the privacy considerations related to HSS' use of these HPW managed applications. HPW has conducted a full PIA, which should be read in conjunction with this companion PIA for a fulsome understanding of the product(s).
