Bill C-8 is moving through Senate committee and it is closer to becoming law than most organizations realize.

When it passes, telecom providers and designated operators of critical cyber systems will be required to maintain formal cybersecurity programs, manage third-party and supply chain risks, and report incidents to the government.

That last point is where it gets interesting for everyone outside the telecom sector. If you supply technology, software, or services to a designated operator, their compliance obligations flow directly into your vendor relationship. Your security posture, your documentation, your incident response capability — all of it becomes part of their defensible record.

The question to ask now is not whether Bill C-8 applies to you directly. It is whether it applies to your clients.

Digital sovereignty is often discussed.
Rarely operationalized.

Most organizations are asked to take a position on sovereignty without a clear way to assess it.

What do you actually control?
Where does your data flow?
Which decisions can you enforce?

In practice, sovereignty is not a statement.
It is a function of how your systems are designed, contracted, and operated.

It starts with:
– understanding your architecture and dependencies
– identifying where control exists and where it doesn’t
– aligning legal, technical, and operational realities

From there, it becomes something measurable.

At Ceiba Law, we approach digital sovereignty as a question of control, not abstraction. Reach out to learn how we approach sovereignty assessments.

What is a dedicated General Counsel and do you need one?

Most companies don’t need a full-time General Counsel.
But they do need consistent legal thinking embedded in how they operate.

Legal is often brought in too late.
At the point where decisions have already been made, contracts signed, or risks materialized.

A dedicated General Counsel model changes that.

It means having ongoing legal support that:
– understands your business and how your systems operate
– structures contracts, data use, and risk before they become issues
– supports leadership in decision-making, not just documentation
– aligns legal, product, and operational realities

This is particularly critical in environments shaped by technology, AI, and data.

The question is not whether you need legal support.

It is whether it is integrated into how your business runs.

Many organizations are actively experimenting with AI.
What we see in practice is less clarity on how these initiatives are governed.

Teams are testing tools and moving quickly. At the same time, executives and boards are expected to approve decisions that carry legal, operational, and reputational consequences. In many cases, ownership is not clearly defined. Risk is not fully articulated. And the basis for key decisions is not documented.

This creates exposure. AI initiatives are not only technology deployments. They are decisions that require clear accountability, defensible reasoning, and appropriate controls from the outset.

Myriam Côté, eng., Ph.D. brings a unique combination of experience across research, industry, and strategy. Her background includes leadership roles in applied AI environments, including at Mila - Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute, where she contributed to the development and growth of one of Canada’s leading AI ecosystems Her work focuses on how organizations integrate AI in a way that is both operational and responsible, bridging technical capabilities with business and societal considerations.

This is aligned with how we approach AI at Ceiba Law.

Because ultimately, it is not just the system that needs to perform.
It is the decision behind it that needs to stand.

Integrated solutions are not about bundling services.

They are built at the intersection of legal, cybersecurity, and operational realities, where decisions are made, risks are carried, and outcomes are defined. But they also need to be executed, or they are just... advice.

At Ceiba, we don’t work in silos.
Our GRC division builds upon our legal engineering and delivers real solutions that helps tech leaders move forward without paralysis.

04/29/2026

Identity. Structure. Foundation.

At Ceiba, we approach legal and strategic challenges as interconnected systems — where clarity, depth, and alignment define the outcome.

Our work is built the same way.

04/28/2026

By leaders, for leaders.

Elodie Meyer is a two-time cybersecurity founder and General Counsel, advising critical infrastructure operators, cybersecurity companies, and founders at the intersection of risk, growth, and control.

With a strong foundation in M&A and corporate strategy, she supports high-stakes transactions while building legal structures that scale with the business — from early decisions to complex integrations.

Embedded where it matters. When it matters.
