CASL AUDITS

Canada’s Anti-Spam Law (“CASL”) came into force on July 1, 2014 with respect to the sending of commercial electronic messages to a Canadian electronic address. CASL proves to be one of the most onerous anti-spam laws in the world, and it is critical for organizations to take the necessary steps to comply with this law. With a Spam Reporting Centre staffed with CASL investigators, and the ability to reprimand organizations with heavy fines, it is clear that the CRTC is taking its enforcement powers seriously.

PRIVATECH’s CASL audit process for CEMs involves:

• Providing a questionnaire to be completed by key groups on CEMs sent by the organization;

• Review of CEMs and requesting necessary clarification;

• Determining gaps between existing practice and CASL requirements;

• Recommending changes including database structure, consent wording and procedural changes;

• Preparing custom CASL guidelines and checklists; and

• CASL training for key groups to ensure compliance going forward.
