About
Why Conformité PME exists
A Quebec small business is subject to the same legal obligations as a large company, without the legal department or the budget that come with it. Our tools automate the mechanical part of compliance - finding out where you stand, telling you precisely what to fix and providing the templates to do it - so that the time you spend on it goes to fixing, not searching.
We produce your documents for you.
We tell you when they expire.
We keep the proof that you applied them.
And what we cannot do for you, we tell you who does it, free of charge, when that exists.

This training guides the design of our tools: an audit must record verifiable facts, cite its sources, and distinguish what it actually observed from what it was told. You will therefore never find in our reports a compliance verdict based on anything other than explicit findings.
He is the business’s person in charge of the protection of personal information, publicly designated - the same Law 25 obligation that our tools help small businesses meet. His contact details are in our privacy policy.
He also develops privacy tools.
Our tools
One Quebec legal obligation, one tool. Each one starts with a free assessment; the ready-to-file deliverables come by plan, from $299, one time, with no mandatory subscription. The tools and their reports are in French.
- Law 25 audit - automated analysis of your website against the protection of personal information;
- Law 96 scan - check of your website’s French against the Charter of the French Language;
- Harassment prevention - assessment questionnaire, then a written policy ready to adopt against psychological and sexual harassment, mandatory from a single employee;
- Child labour - questionnaire, then an employer kit to hire young people by the rules;
- Psychosocial risks - questionnaire, then a kit for the psychosocial part of your prevention program or action plan, with the poster and the notice to give to staff.
- Pay equity - the regime for your size, the calendar of deadlines and the kit: job categories, posting template, maintenance and DEMES (Pay Equity Act).
- Environmental claims - the evidence the Competition Act requires before publishing “recyclable” or “carbon neutral”, and the file to hold it: register, checklist, internal policy (C-34, s. 74.01).
- Selective collection (EPR) - producer qualification, the register of quantities and the annual reporting procedure to ÉEQ - the small-business exemption never excuses you from reporting (EQA, Q-2, r. 46.01).
Once the document is adopted, it still has to be given to your employees and you must be able to prove it. That is what the proof register keeps - distribution, acknowledgements of receipt, incident and report registers - offered as a monthly option on any of these tools.
Our commitments
- We apply our own rules to ourselves. Our privacy policy is public, our person in charge of the protection of personal information is named with their contact details, and our site is audited with our own tools.
- Verifiable sources. Every obligation we cite points to its section of law, free to read on LégisQuébec. The same rules, with their verification date, are published as open data (in French) for AI assistants and developers.
- No access to your systems. Our audits only analyze the public pages of the address you submit; our questionnaires only read your answers.
- We only write to your employees if you ask us to. Only one tool does it, the proof register, and only to give them your documents: the email address you enter, nothing else. That information stays yours - you are the one responsible for it, we are your supplier. We never measure your staff’s behaviour and never write to them for any purpose of our own.
- Hosting in Canada for your results and your files.
- No legal advice. Our tools inform and diagnose; for a complex situation, consult a legal professional.
