A recent RCMP audit found that equipment it purchased from a company linked to China did not pose a security concern, but the national police force said it will improve the overall procurement process to bolster security requirements.

According to the audit, the RCMP's departmental security branch consulted with Canada's cyber intelligence agency in December and the Communications Security Establishment's opinion was that the RF filtering devices "would not compromise encrypted communications based on the RCMP's application."

The audit committee recommended that the force implement controls to ensure RCMP security requirements are included in contracts, and to determine when additional security controls are necessary. "The review found that the RCMP does not have formal guidance in its policy manuals on when additional security processes should be requested for procurements that do not meet the established criteria," it said.
