Details

Turbo SA/A is a generative AI tool that helps Government of Canada security assessors evaluate evidence against IT security controls. It uses retrieval-augmented generation to surface relevant guidance from security documentation, reducing manual effort in the assessment process. The system is currently in development and is used only by GC employees — it does not directly affect members of the public. Users are not currently informed that AI is involved in the process.
