The Cyber Resilience Policy serves as a cornerstone document for organizations operating in Canada, establishing comprehensive guidelines for maintaining robust cybersecurity practices and ensuring business continuity in the face of cyber threats. This policy is essential for organizations seeking to protect their digital assets while complying with Canadian federal legislation (including PIPEDA), provincial privacy laws, and industry-specific regulations. The document addresses modern cybersecurity challenges, incorporating requirements for cloud computing, remote work, and emerging technologies. The Cyber Resilience Policy should be implemented by organizations of all sizes to establish clear protocols for risk management, incident response, and recovery procedures, while ensuring alignment with Canadian legal requirements and international security standards.
