Community Futures and economic development organizations
The sector's security needs
Community Futures organizations provide business services, access to capital and community economic development support. Those activities can involve commercially sensitive business plans and financing records. Applicants, boards and funding partners have different responsibilities, but a shared interest in protecting the information used to deliver these services.

CyberSecure Canada offers a practical baseline for organizations that need independent assessment of their cybersecurity practices. A certificate can give boards and partners evidence to consider alongside their own oversight. The relevant scope includes the people, systems and outsourced services supporting the activities being certified.
