Benchmarking Municipalities:  How does your IT security measure up?  

 Find out today by taking an online security assessment - specifically for Canadian organizations.

Our research indicates that IT security is now becoming a competitive differentiator and a business issue, rather than just a technical issue.

TELUS, in research partnership with Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto, has developed an interactive online assessment tool which will help you:

  • Understand your municipality's IT Security business practices across key elements:  people, process, and technology.
  • Benchmark the focus your municipality places on the IT security governance process, security budget, risk profile and security initiatives
  • Create a customized assessment and action play for your municipality

This assessment will take approximately 30 minutes to complete and will provide you with immediate results on how to improve your organization's IT security health, based on best practices from your peer group. Preview a sample report.
