Description

The Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) was developed as part of the Department’s commitment to protection of personal information. It also meets the Management of Information Technology Security requirements obligating departmental major services to undergo a security and privacy assessment at this point. DFAIT represents Canada worldwide through a network of embassies, consulates and diplomatic offices. These entities are commonly referred to as missions. Missions can be classified as Classic, Small, Micro, Homing. They are staffed by Canadian–Based Staff (CBS) and Locally Engaged Staff (LES). To meet its need to provide departmental communications, DFAIT has created a telecommunications system which incorporates both a dedicated Private Branch Exchange (PBX) system and an Octel 250 or pilot at each mission. All missions and Headquarters are connected for both voice and data traffic via the Multi–User Integrated Telecommunications Network (MITNET).
