Backgrounder
This is the second annual review of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service’s (CSIS) threat reduction measures (TRMs) completed by the National Security Intelligence Review Agency (NSIRA). This review sought to expand upon findings from last year’s review by examining a larger number of TRMs wherein CSIS disclosed information to external parties with their own levers of control, to reduce identified threats.
The review studied the characteristics of these particular TRMs but focused its examination upon the extent to which CSIS appropriately identified, documented and considered any plausible adverse impacts that these measures could have on affected individuals.
