Built for Yukon

One platform for the whole access-and-privacy mandate, pre-configured for this regime and running in your own Microsoft 365 tenant.

ATIPP request lifecycle

Intake to disclosure on Yukon's 30-business-day clock — with the section 62 and 63 extensions, the mandatory and discretionary exemption catalogue, fee estimates on the free-hour schedule, and IPC-ready records, all built on Microsoft 365.

Privacy impact assessments

Run the section 11 PIA required before a ministerial public body launches or significantly changes a program, service, or data-linking activity — a guided questionnaire with screeners, an embedded risk register, and a defensible, exportable record.

Breach notification to the IPC

Log a privacy breach, assess whether it poses a risk of significant harm under section 32, and get a live checklist of what must be reported to the Commissioner and to affected individuals, and by when.

IPC reviews and complaints

Track complaints and reviews before the Information and Privacy Commissioner, record the head's acceptance or rejection of each recommendation on its own clock, and follow the path to the Supreme Court of Yukon when a recommendation is contested.

Responsible-AI assessments

Assess automated decision-making systems against your own responsible-AI framework on the same engine that runs your PIAs — scored, tiered, reviewed, and audit-trailed, and ready should Yukon adopt an AI directive.

In your own Yukon tenant

Every request, assessment, and record stays inside your own Microsoft 365 and Azure tenant — no third-party cloud, no cross-border transfers, no per-user fees.

Mandatory and discretionary exemptions

Yukon's 2021 Act split what you must withhold from what you may. AccessPoint tags every redaction to the right one.

The ATIPP Act sorts exemptions into two divisions: information a public body must refuse to disclose — Cabinet records, another government's confidences, third-party business and personal information — and information it may refuse, from legal privilege and policy advice to law-enforcement and economic harms. Get the division wrong and a redaction fails on review. AccessPoint ships both divisions as a colour-coded catalogue mapped to the exact section, so every withholding is tagged, justified, and ready for the Commissioner — with the clear-public-interest override and the duty to warn never far from view.

Mandatory (Division 8) Cabinet, intergovernmental, and third-party business and personal information you must withhold.
Discretionary (Division 9) Advice, legal privilege, law enforcement, and economic harms you may withhold, with reasons.
Public-interest override The clear-public-interest override and the duty to warn, surfaced against every exemption.

Configured out of the box

Installing the ca-yt-atipp configuration pack seeds your tenant with everything this regime needs — a starting point you can adjust, not a lock-in.

Yukon Questions

What is the response deadline under Yukon's ATIPP Act?
Thirty business days from the activation date of the request (section 50). AccessPoint calculates the due date on the Yukon business-day calendar, tracks the access officer's extensions of up to 15 business days — 30 with the applicant's consent — under section 62, and flags when a longer extension needs the Commissioner's approval under section 63.

How does AccessPoint handle Yukon's mandatory and discretionary exemptions?
The 2021 Act splits exemptions into information a public body must refuse to disclose (Division 8) and information it may refuse (Division 9). AccessPoint ships both divisions as a colour-coded catalogue mapped to the governing section, so redactions are tagged correctly and assembled into a defensible exemption manifest, with the clear-public-interest override kept in view.

Does it support PIAs and breach notification under the Act?
Yes. Section 11 requires a privacy impact assessment before a ministerial public body launches or significantly changes a program, service, or data-linking activity, and section 32 requires notifying the Commissioner and affected individuals when a breach poses a risk of significant harm. AccessPoint runs both — a PIA engine and a live breach-notification calculator — on the same platform, with a full audit trail.

Where does Yukon data reside?
Entirely within your own Microsoft 365 and Azure tenant. Requests, documents, assessments, and audit history never leave your control — no third-party cloud and no cross-border data transfers.
