AB-2025-01698 - IT Security Audit RFP

The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA) is seeking proposals from qualified firms to conduct a comprehensive IT Security Audit of our systems, networks, and processes. The primary objective is to evaluate the current security posture, identify vulnerabilities, and provide actionable recommendations to enhance our overall cybersecurity framework. CPSA is Alberta’s medical regulator and responsible for overseeing the practice of medicine in Alberta. Alberta’s Health Professions Act (HPA) grants physicians and physician assistants the privilege of profession-led regulation, which is carried out by CPSA. Our work to guide the medical profession ultimately protects Albertans. This work includes: • Registering physicians, surgeons, osteopaths, and physician assistants • Supporting continuing competence and performance in practice • Investigating and resolving complaints related to physicians and physician assistants • Contributing to public policy affecting health care delivery • Accrediting health facilities • Engaging in evidence-based medical regulation, research and program evaluation • Guiding professional conduct and ethical behaviour CPSA is governed by a Council that includes physicians, public members and representatives from Alberta’s medical schools. Public members are appointed by Alberta’s Lieutenant Governor, while regulated members are elected by their professional peers. Also on Council are Alberta’s two medical deans, and medical learners who sit as observers. Dr. Scott McLeod, the Chief Executive Officer and Registrar, is responsible for the day-to-day operations of CPSA and leads a team of about 170 members in Edmonton.
