Canadian Armed Forces didn’t recruit enough soldiers, provide adequate housing, A-G report finds

The Auditor General found inconsistent security policies and delayed responses to cyberattacks, with some federal cybersecurity initiatives still unfunded, increasing risk to government systems.

  • On Oct. 21, 2025, Auditor General Karen Hogan released a report finding `significant gaps` in Canada's federal government cybersecurity services, and urged stronger defences against growing cyber threats.
  • The review identified missing inventories and uneven policy application, as not all federal organizations followed the same security policies, delaying response to the January 2024 cyberattack.
  • Auditors flagged an unfunded incident case management tool while NordPass and NordStellar reported last week that hundreds of Canadian civil servants' passwords were exposed.
  • Karen Hogan, Auditor General of Canada, is set to table six reports in Parliament mid-morning on Tuesday, including a cybersecurity audit examining coordination among Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat, Communications Security Establishment Canada, and Shared Services Canada.
  • Beyond cybersecurity, the auditor general is releasing reports on early learning by Employment and Social Development Canada, Indigenous Services Canada programs, and Canada Revenue Agency call centre efficiency.
