U15 Canada has released updated guidance on the topic of safeguarding research at institutions. The updates were prompted by the changes to the Government of Canada’s policies governing research security and the federal Defence Industrial Strategy. The guide includes outcomes and best practices across five areas: Governance and Risk Frameworks; Due Diligence, Risk Assessment and Management; Communication, Education and Knowledge Sharing; Network and Device Security; and Research Security and Campus Security Services. “Today’s updated guidance draws on the lessons and best practices that have been developed at leading research universities over recent years,” explained U15 CEO Robert Asselin. U15 will continue to update the document as the security landscape evolves.
