Trusted advice at the edge of what’s next
Privacy, information security, artificial intelligence (AI), and policy and program review for organizations in the Yukon and across the North.
About us
Last Frontier Consulting helps public bodies, First Nations governments, businesses and nonprofits navigate the digital landscape (our common last frontier). We help you work with your organization’s information in the best possible way: meeting compliance requirements, keeping it secure, and putting it to work through sound processes and the responsible use of AI. We also review how programs and policies perform, and we research and build tools that make complex information easier to find and use. Our goal is evidence-based solutions that help you reach your goals on time and on budget.
Our values
Last Frontier Consulting is invested in the North. We work and live in Yukon and understand the needs, impacts and limitations north of the 60th parallel. We are independent, and we identify and disclose any potential conflict of interest before we take on work. In addition to our for-profit work, we regularly conduct research and investigations and provide submissions in the public interest. On a limited basis we are available to provide pro bono consultation and privacy, security and AI training for nonprofits that benefit Yukoners.
Our core business
We combine an understanding of public administration and good governance with knowledge of northern, rural and remote living. Our team brings experience from oversight offices, including investigations, compliance reviews, legislative review and public reporting, along with professional designations in information security (CISSP) and privacy management (CIPM) and training in Lean process improvement. Together, these let us offer practical solutions grounded in how public and private organizations actually work.
Our services
Policy, program and compliance reviews
We bring an independent, evidence-based view to how your programs and policies perform. Services include program and policy evaluation, internal compliance and file reviews, administrative fairness reviews, investigations and legislative review.
AI adoption and governance
We help you adopt AI with confidence: assessing readiness, setting use policies and safeguards, training staff, and finding where AI can improve your processes without creating new privacy or security risks.
Research, OSINT and legislative tools
We conduct applied research and open source intelligence (OSINT) work, including legislative, Hansard and media monitoring. We also build annotated legislation, searchable databases and dashboards, and can tailor these tools to your organization.
Information management and systems
We help you optimize your processes so that they work for you. We strive not just for a compliance check mark, but for intelligent, functioning controls and processes. This includes information management, process improvement and advice on procuring and implementing case management systems.
Privacy and compliance
We help you meet your obligations under privacy and access legislation, including Yukon’s Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act (ATIPP Act) and Health Information Privacy and Management Act (HIPMA), Alberta legislation and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). Services include privacy impact assessments (PIAs), privacy management programs, policies and breach response.
Information security
A risk-based approach is at the core of our service model. We help you identify which assets matter most and protect them in a cost-efficient and user-friendly manner, through threat and risk assessments, security policies and controls, and incident investigations.
Dashboards and annotated legislation
Free, searchable tools for Yukon legislation and decisions. Each tool links the act to its regulations, guidance and decisions in one place. These are unofficial versions for research and convenience; the official versions of Yukon legislation are those published by the King’s Printer.
