Security screening and investigation
Employees who work in security screening and administrative investigations play a vital role in ensuring that public servants and other individuals who require access to sensitive information are trustworthy and capable of safeguarding it while carrying out their work duties. This also applies to all companies that conduct business with the federal government.
The ideal candidate is eager to understand behaviours, has a keen eye for details, is discreet, enjoys working in a collaborative environment, and has sound judgment and an investigative mind.
Security screening
Prior to becoming a Government of Canada employee, all candidates are required to undergo a rigorous security screening process. This information is collected and verified to ensure that new employees are not subjected to pressures, fraud, or other actions that could compromise either their work or government information and assets.
Security investigation
Ensuring the integrity of services to Canadians through investigations into acts of non-compliance, suspected or detected suspicious activities, unacceptable behaviours, and security events is essential for effectively addressing these situations, whether for the Government of Canada or for the well-being of Canadians.
Security in contracting and other arrangements
The Government of Canada places a high value on security in all its contracts. It requires that all companies conducting business with them (from office maintenance, consultants to movers) adhere to the same stringent security standards.
