Details

Clear View Systems Ltd. is seeking to enhance the security of its SaaS product, CXR Cloud, by conducting a comprehensive cybersecurity assessment. The project aims to identify potential vulnerabilities within the platform and ensure compliance with the latest cybersecurity standards. One or more cybersecurity student(s) will collaborate with the development team to focus on key areas such as data protection, secure access controls, and vulnerability assessments. The project will also involve evaluating the platform's adherence to industry regulations, including the Canada Privacy Act and GDPR. By applying their classroom knowledge, students will gain practical experience in real-world cybersecurity challenges, contributing to the enhancement of CXR Cloud's overall security posture.

Deliverables

The project will culminate in a detailed security assessment report, highlighting identified vulnerabilities and recommended improvements. Students will also provide a compliance checklist for the Canada Privacy Act and GDPR. Additionally, a presentation summarizing the findings and proposed security enhancements will be delivered to Clear View Systems Ltd.'s development team. These deliverables will ensure a comprehensive understanding of the platform's current security status and actionable steps for improvement.
