Employees should always use department-sanctioned tools for collaboration with colleagues, starting with Microsoft Teams (at Protected B if your departmental tenancy has been accredited to that level, or unclassified otherwise), then moving to other sanctioned tools such as GCTools or WebEx. If those options aren’t available, then the [https://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/pol/doc-eng.aspx?id=27122 Policy on Acceptable Network and Device Use] does allow usage of public cloud tools such as Slack, Zoom or Google Hangouts for '''unclassified''' work only. However, there are some privacy issues that need to be recognized before using these applications. It is important to remember that these applications are <u>never</u> to be used for any sensitive or classified work.

The Canadian Center For Cyber Security (CCCS) has provided guidance and considerations when using public cloud tools for video teleconferencing (VTC).
When choosing a collaborative tool, some things to consider are:
*prioritizing solutions that do not require participants to install a client unless necessary.
*choose a solution that allows you to control how your data is handled. Some platforms may route data outside Canada or store shared data on servers they control.
*Ensure all parties using the collaborative software are aware of and comfortable with any data sharing done by the software owner in order to realize a profit. For example, selling data analytics for marketing and advertising purposes.
For a complete list of things to consider visit the CCCS advisory.
