On January 24, 2019, Canada's Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) published the advisory Technology and Cyber Security Incident Reporting, which will be in force as of March 31, 2019. The advisory provides guidance to federally regulated financial institutions (FRFIs) with respect to the timely reporting of technology or cybersecurity incidents to OSFI.

Background

The advisory builds on the Cyber Security Self-Assessment Guidance published in 2013, in which OSFI expressed its expectations with respect to cyber risk management. The overall goal of the reporting requirement is to assist OSFI in the identification of areas where FRFIs can take steps to proactively prevent such incidents or to improve their resiliency in cases where an incident has occurred.
