Why CSA?

With over 1,000 Information & Communication Technology (ICT) standards, CSA Group is focused on enabling fast and reliable communications systems, promoting technical compatibility and efficient operations.
Spanning 30 years of established leadership in ICT standardization in Canada, CSA Group has been working with vested stakeholders to ensure Canada maintains its strong voice nationally and around the world on topical issues, dealing with complex subjects such as security, safety and privacy.
Today, our ICT portfolio of over 1,000 standards covers the more traditional subject areas such as programming languages, software & systems engineering, and data management as well as the more current subjects of cybersecurity, privacy, and cloud computing.
To meet the needs of Canadians tomorrow, we are working with stakeholders to develop system-based solutions across a variety of important functional domains:
- Standardizing artificial intelligence techniques opens the door to solutions in trustworthiness, internet of things and big data;
- Tackling the world of distributed ledger technologies highlights the need for secure communication techniques that modern cryptography protocols offer; and
- Developing standards and codes for intelligent buildings brings enhanced living and working in terms of comfort, efficiency and safety.
