Fiche d'information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Une version expurg\u00e9e du document de l\u2019Office de surveillance des activit\u00e9s en mati\u00e8re de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 nationale et de renseignement (OSSNR) intitul\u00e9 \u00ab \u00c9tude portant sur les capacit\u00e9s techniques du Service canadien du renseignement de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 (SCRS) \u00bb a r\u00e9cemment \u00e9t\u00e9 publi\u00e9e en vertu de la Loi sur l\u2019acc\u00e8s \u00e0 l\u2019information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le SCRS utilise des capacit\u00e9s techniques pour appuyer les enqu\u00eates qu\u2019il m\u00e8ne sur les menaces envers la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 du Canada. Puisque ces menaces s\u2019appuient de plus en plus sur les technologies, le SCRS doit veiller \u00e0 ce que les capacit\u00e9s techniques, les structures de gouvernance et les cadres juridiques dont il s\u2019est dot\u00e9 continuent d\u2019\u00e9voluer tout en prot\u00e9geant les droits et la vie priv\u00e9e des Canadiens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L\u2019\u00e9tude a permis \u00e0 l\u2019OSSNR d\u2019acqu\u00e9rir une compr\u00e9hension essentielle des capacit\u00e9s techniques du SCRS, de la fa\u00e7on dont celles-ci sont r\u00e9gies et des risques associ\u00e9s \u00e0 leur utilisation. Les observations faites ont \u00e9galement contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 orienter un examen intitul\u00e9 Examen sur le cycle de vie de l\u2019information du SCRS autoris\u00e9e par mandat<\/em><\/a>, le premier que l\u2019OSSNR ait consacr\u00e9 aux technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Motifs pour lesquels l\u2019OSSNR a r\u00e9alis\u00e9 cet examen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

L\u2019OSSNR examine les activit\u00e9s du SCRS pour d\u00e9terminer si elles sont conformes \u00e0 la loi et si elles s\u2019av\u00e8rent justes et n\u00e9cessaires. Pour ce faire, l\u2019OSSNR doit comprendre les technologies utilis\u00e9es par le SCRS et leur incidence sur la collecte du renseignement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cet examen a permis \u00e0 l\u2019OSSNR d\u2019\u00e9tablir les domaines o\u00f9 un examen approfondi pourrait \u00eatre n\u00e9cessaire. C\u2019est le cas lorsque des technologies \u00e0 risque \u00e9lev\u00e9 font intervenir des m\u00e9thodes de collecte avanc\u00e9es ou de grandes quantit\u00e9s de donn\u00e9es ou encore lorsque la collecte se fait fortuitement aupr\u00e8s de personnes qui ne font pas l\u2019objet d\u2019une enqu\u00eate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Une question importante pour les Canadiens<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Certes, les capacit\u00e9s techniques favorisent l\u2019ex\u00e9cution de travaux importants en mati\u00e8re de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 nationale, mais leur utilisation peut \u00e9galement avoir une incidence sur le droit \u00e0 la vie priv\u00e9e et sur d\u2019autres droits. En outre, les activit\u00e9s du SCRS sont encadr\u00e9es par la loi et par des mandats de la Cour f\u00e9d\u00e9rale, lesquels fixent les limites applicables \u00e0 la fa\u00e7on dont l\u2019information peut \u00eatre collect\u00e9e.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comme la technologie \u00e9volue rapidement, un examen ind\u00e9pendant permet de s\u2019assurer que les modalit\u00e9s suivant lesquelles le SCRS utilise ses capacit\u00e9s demeurent l\u00e9gales, justes et n\u00e9cessaires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Principales observations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

L\u2019OSSNR a constat\u00e9 plusieurs domaines o\u00f9 le SCRS pourrait renforcer la gestion des capacit\u00e9s techniques :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Les documents de politique et d\u2019orientation doivent \u00eatre actualis\u00e9s<\/strong>. En effet, les politiques d\u00e9su\u00e8tes et le recours aux directives provisoires augmentent les risques de non-conformit\u00e9.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Les responsabilit\u00e9s en mati\u00e8re de conformit\u00e9 requi\u00e8rent une meilleure coordination<\/strong>. Une approche d\u00e9centralis\u00e9e a cr\u00e9\u00e9 des difficult\u00e9s pour ce qui est de maintenir une vue d\u2019ensemble sur les risques li\u00e9s \u00e0 la conformit\u00e9.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Les technologies externes ont cr\u00e9\u00e9 des risques additionnels<\/strong>. L\u2019utilisation des technologies issues de partenaires ou de tierces parties peut complexifier l\u2019\u00e9valuation des consid\u00e9rations li\u00e9es \u00e0 la protection des renseignements personnels, \u00e0 la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 et \u00e0 la conformit\u00e9.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • La mesure du rendement doit \u00eatre am\u00e9lior\u00e9e<\/strong>. Le SCRS \u00e9value l\u2019efficacit\u00e9 et la valeur de ses capacit\u00e9s techniques suivant des modalit\u00e9s disparates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Le suivi des d\u00e9tails inh\u00e9rents aux mandats devrait \u00eatre renforc\u00e9 dans le contexte des op\u00e9rations<\/strong>. L\u2019OSSNR a constat\u00e9 que le SCRS devait \u00e9toffer sa documentation des activit\u00e9s men\u00e9es en vertu de mandats d\u00e9livr\u00e9s par la Cour f\u00e9d\u00e9rale, afin de montrer plus clairement qu\u2019il respecte les limites et les conditions \u00e9tablies par la Cour.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Recommandation et prochaines \u00e9tapes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    L\u2019OSSNR a recommand\u00e9 que le SCRS communique la version int\u00e9grale et non expurg\u00e9e du rapport aux juges d\u00e9sign\u00e9s de la Cour f\u00e9d\u00e9rale. Le SCRS a accept\u00e9 cette recommandation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Les connaissances acquises dans le cadre de cette \u00e9tude continuent d\u2019aider \u00e0 orienter les examens de l\u2019OSSNR sur l\u2019utilisation, par le SCRS, des capacit\u00e9s techniques, y compris les technologies et les activit\u00e9s \u00e0 risque \u00e9lev\u00e9 qui n\u00e9cessitent un examen plus approfondi. Elles constituent une ressource pr\u00e9cieuse permettant de cerner les secteurs \u00e0 risque plus \u00e9lev\u00e9 et aident l\u2019OSSNR \u00e0 prioriser les travaux d\u2019examen \u00e0 venir.  <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2200,"parent":9199,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-nsira-subpages.php","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false},"categories":[19,24,28],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\nSurvey of Canadian Security Intelligence Service Technical Capabilities: Backgrounder -
