=== Overview ===
 +
<br>
 +
Cloud computing has introduced a fundamental shift in the way IT services are delivered and the Government of Canada (GC) will position itself to use this alternative service delivery model. Cloud adoption will ensure that the GC can continue to sustain IT service excellence during a period of increased demand by Canadians for online services and timely access to accurate information. This developing shift will affect how we procure, secure, and work with IT systems that support GC and departmental programs and services.
 +
Under the cloud computing paradigm, the GC will depend on vendors for many aspects of security and privacy, and in doing so, will confer a level of trust onto the cloud service provider (CSP). To establish this trust, the GC requires an IT security risk management approach and procedures that are adapted to cloud computing.
