What the DFIR analyst does during an IR engagement (not only equal to a firefighter or detective) is not the same as what the management should do in handling an incident or what the GRC should do in managing an incident. Why do some experts write a playbook to combine every aspect of DFIR for the technical team to follow? Why does the procurement write a tender to ask a service provider certified with CISM/CISSP or equipped with digital forensic tools to do the IR tasks like this?

🔍✨ Weekly Insight: The Power of Culture in Investigations When investigating concerns within communities, culture is not a side note – it’s everything. Too often, investigators approach interviews with a standard checklist, forgetting that how people perceive questions, authority, and fairness is deeply cultural. 🌍 Imagine this: Approaching a community without understanding their cultural values can shut doors. But showing respect for their norms and engaging through culturally appropriate channels builds trust and opens conversations that matter. 💡 Key takeaway this week: “Cultural intelligence turns investigations from a process into a meaningful dialogue.” How do you integrate cultural understanding into your investigation approach? #Investigations #CulturalIntelligence #CommunityEngagement #Leadership #WeeklyInsights

Canada Advocacy Update! I’m very pleased to share that an amendment advanced by The Institute of Internal Auditors to Canada’s Critical Cyber Systems Protection Act has been adopted by the House of Commons Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security. The amendment formally defines internal audit within the legislation and recognizes the International Professional Practices Framework® (IPPF). This strengthens the bill and reinforces the importance of consistent, independent cybersecurity risk and compliance assessments across critical systems. This outcome reflects focused, constructive advocacy and collaboration. My thanks to Dane Lloyd M.P., for his leadership in introducing the amendment, to the committee members for their support and to our amazing advocacy team in Canada!

The RCMP has not recruited enough new officers or effectively assigned its members to meet its operational needs, according to a new report from the auditor general — raising concerns about public safety across the country. "As a result of chronic shortages of front-line police officers, the RCMP faces a higher risk of police officer absences and burnout, which could make it more challenging for the force to prevent and investigate crime, maintain peace and order and contribute to national security," Auditor General Karen Hogan wrote in a report tabled Monday. Recruitment lags and staffing crunches have been some of the most pressing issues facing the RCMP, which is responsible for what's known as contract policing — the boots-on-the-ground work in most provinces, the three territories and more than 150 municipalities across the country. The Mounties are also responsible for federal policing, the increasingly in-demand core function of the organization which investigates cases including foreign interference, organized crime and counterterrorism. Despite flagging recruitment as a top priority since 2018, the auditor general's analysis of RCMP's data shows that the shortage of police officers has actually worsened Note - This content is from the posted article with no edits.
