Mission Statement
The Security Operations Foundation (SOF) was created to help advance the state of cybersecurity standards and regulations in Canada. Although Canadian regulations are quite advanced in some respects, they also fall behind the EU and US in other ways. Our goal is to help identify these gaps, and advocate standards and governance bodies for improvements.
