What Is Bill C-8?
Bill C-8 is Canada’s upcoming federal cybersecurity law. It aims to protect essential services like healthcare, finance, energy, and telecom from growing cyber threats.
While it focuses on critical sectors, many small and mid-sized businesses may be affected too, especially those connected to supply chains or IT infrastructure that supports these industries.
What it requires:
-
Baseline Cybersecurity Controls
You must have safeguards in place to protect your systems and data.
-
Mandatory Incident Reporting
Certain cyber incidents must be reported to federal authorities.
-
Clear Governance
Businesses must show that they have policies and leadership in place to manage cyber risks.
Failure to comply can lead to major penalties, including fines of up to $15 million, reputational damage, and potential loss of business relationships. For SMBs, this is a wake-up call to strengthen cybersecurity and reduce risk.
