Privacy commissioner Daniel Therrien said he’ll be contacting CSIS to ensure they’re following government-wide rules to report all serious breaches to his office. “For reasons of national security, CSIS does not disclose information related to data, information, or privacy breaches.” The agency declined to provide a global number of breaches in 2015, as requested.
