Level 1 Certificate of Achievement
The new CyberSecure Canada Standard, CAN/DGSI 104:2021 / Rev 1: 2024 includes many of the previous control area requirements with minor changes and is now broken down into Level 1 and Level 2.
Level 1 is for organizations that are just starting their cybersecurity journey and their knowledge in the field would be considered entry-level. These organizations typically do not have the resources to invest in or outsource IT resources and their knowledge of cyber security would be considered entry-level. Organizations looking to implement only level 1 requirements will not be granted CyberSecure Canada Certification, but Cyber Security Canada is now offering organizations a certificate of achievement for implementing the level 1 requirements.
What are the benefits to level 1 certification?
A place to get started
If you are looking to improve your cybersecurity practices in your organization but don’t have the resources, a Level 1 Certificate of Achievement is a great place to start.
Show clients & customers you care
Even if you don’t have the resources to become fully CAN/DGSI 104:2021 / Rev 1: 2024 Certified, a Level 1 Certificate of Achievement is a great way to show your clients and customers you care about cybersecurity.
Low cost
Showcasing your Level 1 certificate of achievement is a great way to show customers you care about cybersecurity for your organization and have implemented security measures, even if you don’t have the resources to become CyberSecure Canada Certified.
