The CAN/DGSI:104 Cybersecurity Checklist

Review your organization's cybersecurity protections across all 12 control areas. Identify gaps and track your progress toward a stronger security baseline.

The CAN/DGSI:104 framework outlines a set of cybersecurity practices designed to help organizations reduce cyber risk and protect systems and business data. This checklist summarizes the key controls businesses should implement to establish a strong cybersecurity baseline.

Organizations pursuing CyberSecure Canada certification will typically implement many of these controls.

How to Use This Checklist

For each item, determine whether the control is:

  • ✔ Implemented: check the box
  • ⚠ Partially Implemented: in progress
  • ✖ Not Implemented: identify as a gap
Progress: 0 / 48 items
0%

1. Security Governance & Policies

2. Asset Inventory

3. Identity & Access Security

4. Endpoint Security

5. Patch & Vulnerability Management

6. Email Security

7. Security Awareness Training

8. Backup & Data Recovery

9. Network Security

10. Security Monitoring & Threat Detection

11. Incident Response

12. Cloud & SaaS Security

After Reviewing This Checklist, Consider:

  • Are there areas where controls are missing?
  • Are some protections only partially implemented?
  • Are employees aware of cybersecurity policies and procedures?

Identifying these gaps is the first step toward improving your organization's cybersecurity posture.
