Created for small and medium organizations seeking to improve their cybersecurity resiliency, this framework is designed to provide a baseline, not a comprehensive (and complicated) plan. That’s why it’s a great starting point for MSP's providing IT services for Canadian clients. Its goal is to provide 80% of the benefit from 20% of the effort, making it easily accessible to smaller businesses.
This multi-faceted, government-led program aims to enhance cybersecurity measures across the country. Launched by the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security in 2018, the certification is divided into five Organizational Controls and 13 Baseline Controls to address various components of cybersecurity best practices — all of which can be aided by compliance management tools.
