It is important to note that Shared Services Canada is committed to protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of digital services to Canadians. It is also important to note that a number of small departments and agencies recommended in the report don't fall under SSC's umbrella.
In budget 2022, it was announced that SSC and CSE will be allocated approximately $178 million over five years. That will be allocated to SSC and the Communications Security Establishment starting in 2022-23 to expand cybersecurity protection for small departments, agencies and Crown corporations, and to provide them with the most secure and cost-effective solutions to meet the needs and expectations of digital government.
