Security Requirements

Overview

The Security Requirement Checklists (SRCLs) and security clauses below have been developed and pre-approved for use under the CPSA. If your security needs match one of the pre-approved SRCL's you may not be required to complete a new SRCL, consult your departmental security officer (DSO) to determine your departmental procedures. If a pre-approved SRCL is used, no further signatures are required as all pre-approved SRCLs are signed-off by CISD/PWGSC and CSEC as the CPSA Technical Advisor. The pre-approved SRCLs and security clauses are not to be modified under any circumstances.

These SRCLs have been developed to cover most of the situations foreseen for CPSA requirements. If you need to create your own SRCL to cover your own requirements, you will need to add a few more weeks to your project timeline to obtain all the required approval signatures from your DSO as well as CISD/PWGSC. CISD/PWGSC must approve all new SRCLs whenever a CISD/PWGSC security clearance is a requirement of the solicitation/contract. A copy of the SRCL form (TBS/SCT 350-103 (2004/12)) is available on line.

Security Clauses for RFP

For each Request for Proposal with a security requirement, the corresponding clause needs to be inserted in to the Request for Proposal and resulting contract. Use the security clauses and download the PDF version of the SRCL from the links below for the solicitation. To obtain signed versions of the pre-approved SRCLs for resulting CPSA contracts please email a request to ACQBCPSA.DGAAMAC@tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca.
