AI-Powered Security Control Assessment Tool

Turbo SA/A is an artificial intelligence system currently in development by the Government of Canada to streamline and improve the security assessment process. The system uses generative AI and retrieval augmented generation technology to assist security assessors in evaluating evidence against Information Technology Security Guidelines (ITSG) controls more efficiently and consistently.

This system is designed for Government of Canada employees who conduct security assessments as part of their professional responsibilities. The system does not involve the collection or processing of personal information about individuals. Instead, it focuses on analyzing security documentation and artifacts to provide targeted guidance and support to assessors during the evaluation process.

The system is built on CANchat, Canada's generative AI platform, and is designed to enhance assessor decision-making by retrieving relevant control information and helping match evidence to security requirements. This transparency page provides information about how the system works, what data it processes, and how it supports the security assessment workflow.
