Privacy and I.T. security breaches are highly unpredictable and variable in sensitivity, risk profile, and magnitude and require thoughtful and timely attention as soon as they are discovered. The incumbent must apply critical thinking and problem solving skills to guide staff on the actions that need to be taken and to determine an appropriate overall response plan within the framework of the applicable legislation. Activities required in order to respond to a breach are not routine and, in the initial discovery period, cannot be scheduled. Access to information requests are unique in nature and preparing responses to applicants requires a thorough and detailed knowledge of the applicable legislation and the ability to interpret the legislative provisions accurately to ensure appropriate disclosure of personal or general information or health information. Work duties require continuous reassessment and prioritization to ensure compliance with legislated requirements and timeframes which can be stressful to the incumbent who must maintain composure while maintaining a high level of involvement in each work matter.
