Information Technology Security
This site is intended to provide insight into the Chief Information Officer Branch's work on information technology security projects and issues. It is also intended to serve as a "one-stop-shop" for Treasury Board Secretariat -approved ITS standards. Here you will find information on the standards development process, on current and proposed standards, and links to other useful resources. Within TBS, CIOB is responsible for the approval and promulgation of all standards pertaining to information technology, which includes information technology security. The latter standards are formulated to support the Government Security Policy. CIOB's Director General, Infrastructure, Architecture and Security Division, is the focal point for the coordination of information technology security standards work being undertaken within the Government of Canada. Though CIOB has in-house technical expertise, the breadth of information technology security is such that it could not accomplish its mandate without the help of other departments. By virtue of insights gained through their online delivery of services, standards-related expertise can be found throughout the Government of Canada. The renewed Treasury Board Information Technology Standards (TBITS) process recognizes this and provides many opportunities for departments to either propose or modify standards. However, CIOB looks most often to a key group of agencies for advice and technical expertise on information technology security. These lead agencies are:
To supplement the documentation and guidance offered by this Web site, CIOB recommends that you take advantage of the additional security resources offered on the websites of these three agencies. For ease of reference, additional links to these agencies are included in the content provided by this site. For standards and guidance on issues pertaining to physical and personnel security, please refer to Government Operations Sector, TBS. |
