CANADIAN AI CYBER™ / CAPABILITIES

Capabilities

Cybersecurity capabilities organized around sovereign control, AI safety, cryptographic agility and operational resilience.

CAPABILITY SYSTEM

Cybersecurity capabilities built around control, evidence and resilience.

The capability model is organized around outcomes that remain important even as individual security products change: trusted identity, protected data, cryptographic control, secure AI, observable operations and recoverable services.

Data infrastructure / identity / observability
CAPABILITIES

Move from isolated controls to connected security architecture.

Each capability is designed to connect technical safeguards to trust boundaries, decision rights, evidence and recovery.

SOVEREIGN CONTROL

Understand who can control, change, observe and recover critical systems.

Sovereign cybersecurity reviews administrative authority, residency, data flows, external support, key custody, software provenance and recovery dependencies as one architecture problem.

  • Identity and privileged-access architecture
  • Data residency and transfer boundaries
  • Cloud and supplier control mapping
  • Recovery independence and concentration-risk analysis
AI SECURITY + SAFETY

Constrain what AI systems can see, call, change and approve.

AI security extends application security into model integrity, retrieval, machine identities, tool permissions, secrets, data boundaries, runtime monitoring and incident response.

  • Agent identity and least privilege
  • Tool-use and action authorization
  • Prompt, model and retrieval integrity
  • Runtime telemetry, containment and evidence
CRYPTOGRAPHIC AGILITY

Build a migration capability before algorithms become an emergency.

Post-quantum readiness starts with visibility into cryptographic use and supplier dependencies, then builds the architecture and governance required to change cryptography safely over time.

  • Cryptographic discovery and inventory
  • Confidentiality-horizon prioritization
  • Crypto-agility architecture and procurement requirements
  • Controlled migration sequencing and validation
RECOVERY + CONTINUITY

Preserve essential operations and restore trusted control.

Resilience design connects prevention, containment, degraded operations, protected recovery paths, identity survivability and evidence of trusted restoration.

  • Critical dependency and failure-domain mapping
  • Recovery architecture and isolated administration
  • Tabletop and technical exercises
  • Trusted restoration and post-incident evidence
ENGAGEMENT OUTPUTS

Designed to become executable.

Outputs are intended to help leadership, architecture, engineering, security and procurement teams make the same security decisions from the same operating model.

01

Current-state architecture

Trust boundaries, dependencies, administrative authority, control gaps and high-consequence pathways.

02

Target-state blueprint

Control-plane design, architecture principles, segmentation, identity, data, cryptography, AI and recovery patterns.

03

Prioritized roadmap

Sequenced initiatives, dependencies, decision gates, implementation prerequisites and measurable milestones.

04

Assurance model

Evidence requirements, operating ownership, exception handling, executive measures and testing strategy.

ENGAGEMENT PATH

From readiness to operating capability.

The work can begin as a focused assessment or expand into architecture, implementation support and ongoing assurance depending on the organization and scope.

01

Assess

Establish the operating problem, consequence, control gaps and critical dependencies.

02

Architect

Define target-state controls, trust boundaries, integration patterns and decision rights.

03

Mobilize

Translate architecture into a prioritized program, technical work packages and procurement requirements.

04

Assure

Validate evidence, test recovery, measure residual risk and keep architecture aligned as systems change.
