CyberSecure Canada

We are the only internationally recognized accreditation body offering this made-in-Canada cybersecurity accreditation, which is based on ISO/IEC 17021-1 – the international standard for providing management systems audit and certification – and the SCC Requirements and Guidance for the Accreditation of CyberSecure Canada Certification Bodies. 


CyberSecure Canada aims to raise the cyber security baseline among small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Canada, increase consumer confidence in the digital economy, promote international standardization and better positions SMEs to compete globally.
The certification mark gives certified businesses official recognition of their compliance to the baseline security controls, and is an easy way for customers, investors, partners and suppliers to know that a business has lowered their security risk.
