Violations of the Justice Network Acceptable Use Policy
Under the joint responsibility of the Chief Security Officer and Chief Information Officer, Information Technology Security administers the Directive on Service and Digital (DSD). Under the DSD, investigators gather and process electronic information and conduct forensic investigations into the misuse of the Department’s electronic network and associated devices and assist with IT forensics for other investigations conducted by the Department of Justice.
Misuse can include using the Department’s systems or network, including Wi-Fi or departmental smartphones, to conduct activities that can be considered a criminal offence; may impede departmental operations or the delivery of services or lead to data loss; or involve processing sensitive or classified information on a system not accredited for that level of information.
During fiscal year 2024-2025, IT Security initiated one DSD investigation as listed below:
- An employee installed software on computers without authorization causing an IT Security breach. This led to a verbal reprimand and a requirement that the employee take mandatory training.
