Digital sovereignty and secure communications

Keeping government communications secure, reliable and under Canadian control matters. It helps protect Canadians’ personal information and reduces the risk of sensitive data being accessed outside the country.

Canadian solutions for security and innovation

We prioritize Canadian technology to protect sensitive communications and support homegrown innovation. Key benefits include:

• Secure communications: SecuSUITE technology encrypts calls and messages, ensuring that only verified users and devices can connect
• Data remains in Canada: All communications and data are hosted in Government of Canada (GC) data centres, reducing exposure to foreign risks
• Operational reliability: When government officials can communicate securely and without disruption, they can respond to situations faster and continue delivering the services Canadians rely on every day

This approach benefits GC workers by providing a safe and reliable way to work together, protecting sensitive information while delivering programs and services to Canadians.

Digital sovereignty

We keep essential government communications exclusively under Canadian control. This:

• protects national security by keeping sensitive data within Canadian borders
• enhances domestic innovation by supporting Canadian technology
• reduces reliance on foreign technology by investing in Canadian expertise and infrastructure

Value for Canadians

In a digital-first world, GC workers rely on secure telecommunications to operate effectively, respond quickly, make informed decisions, and deliver programs and services Canadians rely on.
