Did you know? City divisions, agencies and corporations regularly update our office on the implementation status of recommendations we’ve issued through our audits, investigations, or other reports.

Once management deems a recommendation as fully implemented, our office works to validate and determine whether it is fully implemented, not fully implemented, or no longer applicable. We also report on any financial or non-financial benefits achieved and highlight any noteworthy progress through our follow-up reports.

Stay tuned for our upcoming consolidated follow-up report coming July 3, 2026!

Technology plays an important role in supporting the Toronto Public Library's (TPL) operations and services. As cyber risks continue to grow in frequency and sophistication, it’s important that the TPL’s networks, systems and applications are protected so services at Canada's largest public library system remain available for patrons and over 1 million registered cardholders.

Our cybersecurity audit included a vulnerability assessment and penetration testing of the TPL’s network, information and operational technology systems, applications, and devices. We also reviewed user access management, cybersecurity incident logging and monitoring, and testing of physical security related to cybersecurity.

The recommendations from this report will help the TPL strengthen its cybersecurity controls to better address cyber risks – learn more at: https://t.co/PJcZmafkyj

The Toronto Police Service (TPS) uses information technology to help deliver policing services to the people of Toronto. As key TPS IT systems are currently undergoing major transformations, strong governance and oversight are essential to support effective management of technology and successful transition to new and evolving technologies.

Our audit of the TPS’ IT Governance assessed whether the TPS has an IT governance framework in place to guide the organization in supporting its mission and strategy. Our key audit findings and recommendations focused on how the TPS can improve its IT governance framework, enhance data governance, privacy, and information security, and strengthen other operational IT areas.
