General Data Achieves CyberSecure Canada Certification

General Data Achieves CyberSecure Canada Certification awarded by Complade, Demonstrates Leadership in Cyber Security Compliance Management and Services.

SAINT JOHN, NEW BRUNSWICK, CANADA, July 19, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- General Data is thrilled to announce its successful certification under Canada's National Standard CAN/CIOSC 104:2021, known as CyberSecure Canada. This certification affirms the company’s commitment to systematic cybersecurity management, aimed at enhancing their defenses against cyber threats.

Accredited certification body Complade completed the audit and delivered the certificate to General Data CEO James Hoyt in Saint John this May.

This milestone not only signifies compliance with essential cybersecurity controls but also highlights General Data's leadership in adopting and managing robust cybersecurity practices within the industry. The company's proactive approach to cybersecurity management systematizes the protection of sensitive data and establishes a model for industry peers.

The certification comes at an optimal time as New Brunswick CBDC (Community Business Development Corporations) Charlotte-Kings has just announced a non-repayable grant program, ‘Cybersecure NB’. As the backbone of many economies, small businesses often lack the resources of larger enterprises, making them more susceptible to cyber-attacks. However, by prioritizing cybersecurity, these businesses can safeguard sensitive data, protect customer trust, and ensure business continuity. The CBDC Cybersecure NB grant offers the opportunity to fund a more detailed cybersecurity program, so that businesses can work with companies like General Data to better safeguard their systems and achieve a certification of compliance.

Quote from James Hoyt, CEO of General Data:
"This certificate signals to me, my staff, our customers, our suppliers and other stakeholders that we have taken reasonable measures to reduce cyber risk. It's a testament to the fact that it can be done, it's achievable, it's an achievement, and that we are doing our utmost to ensure that we are free from cyber incidents going forward."

Quote from Bronwen Clewley, Analyst at Complade:
“Complade’s role was to conduct a thorough and impartial audit to ascertain compliance with the CyberSecure Canada standard. General Data has not only met these standards but has also showcased exemplary leadership in the systematic management of cyber compliance. Complade’s accreditation by the Standards Council of Canada underscores the rigor and integrity of the audit processes we follow, confirming that organizations like General Data maintain a proper standard of cyber security assurance."
