In many cases, it is not only AAFC clients who rely on these systems, but other government departments and 3rd party organizations. The IT Security group within the IT Security and Architecture division of AAFC is responsible for reviewing and recommending solutions to reduce risk associated with the implementation of these systems within the AAFC environment. The Policy on Government Security recommends a number of preventive measures including conducting TRA’s, creation of Statements of Sensitivity (SOS) and Security Assessment and Authorization (SA&A) program implementation for IM/IT systems.
