vOverview and Annexes 1 and 2 (November 2012), 3A (30 December 2014), 4A and 5; Annex 3A superseded 31 March 2026 by ITSP.10.033 and Annex 4A Profile 1 on 1 April 2026 by ITSP.10.033-01
5 domains
54 controls

ITSG-33, the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security's IT security risk management lifecycle for Government of Canada departments: the departmental activities of Annex 1 (categorization, threat assessment, control profiles, monitoring, authorization maintenance) and the information system security implementation process of Annex 2 from project start to authorization to operate, operations and disposal. Its 2012 control catalogue and PBMM profile were superseded in 2026 by ITSP.10.033 and ITSP.10.033-01, modelled as their own framework.

Verified

Canada ITSG-33 - IT Security Risk Management is a compliance framework from Canada (Government of Canada; Canadian Centre for Cyber Security) with 5 domains and 54 controls that map to 185 other frameworks. The largest domains are Annex 1: Departmental IT security risk management activities – Canada ITSG-33 - IT Security Risk Management (15 controls), Annex 2: ISSIP development, integration, testing and installation phases – Canada ITSG-33 - IT Security Risk Management (14 controls), Annex 2: ISSIP requirements analysis and design phases – Canada ITSG-33 - IT Security Risk Management (10 controls). Every control below carries what it requires and what an assessor expects to see.
