Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) is responsible and accountable for the safeguarding of departmental information, assets and employee safety in all ISED facilities and other government departments to which ISED has a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) (14) in place for the provision of security services. To protect, detect and respond to security events compromising ISED’s information assets and employee safety, the SSD has put in place electronic security systems (card access, alarm and video surveillance systems) throughout Canada (National Capital Region and Regions).

Since 1998, the SSD only controlled and monitored access to NCR facilities leaving other ISED facilities’ in Regions being monitored and controlled by other government departments or base building’s property management exposing ISED assets & information to increased risks. This risk (convoluted access control system), is identified in ISED’s 2020-23 Departmental Security as a risk that requires treatment.

Since 2020-21, to provide the assurance that access to all ISED facilities is provided and monitored centrally, the SSD expanded its centralized electronic cloud base electronic security systems to an additional 20 ISED facilities across the country. The expansion was carried out by ADSS Security Systems Integrators whom currently holds a maintenance contract for all ISED Security systems ending in 2023-24. ADSS is accountable for the warranty of new installations and hardware on this centralized system.
