Shared Services Canada (SSC) works with federal organizations to deliver modern and resilient enterprise-level IT infrastructure services protected by effective cyber and IT security capabilities. SSC’s services constantly evolve to protect against, detect, respond to and recover from cyber security events.

Cyber security strategy
Delivering Digital Solutions Together for Canada (Digital Together) is SSC’s enterprise approach to ensure that government departments are equipped with the modern, standardized tools they need to collaborate effectively and continue to better serve Canadians from coast to coast to coast.
As part of this approach, SSC developed roadmaps for 4 service areas that chart our path toward achieving excellence in technology and operations.
The cyber security services roadmap is focused on achieving a zero-trust architectural framework and is aligned with the GC Enterprise Cyber Security Strategy and Plan.
