Security

Security practices of government are continually evolving to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of information and systems. Government uses up-to-date security safeguards to protect its networks and websites from misuse, alteration, copying, disclosure, destruction, monitoring or unauthorized sharing of information and damage. These safeguards include the use of security software and encryption protocols, physical and technical controls and procedures to protect information behind the government firewall.

The computer systems of the Government of Prince Edward Island use hardware and software to monitor unauthorized attempts to upload or change information on our websites, disrupt service or otherwise cause damage. As a general practice, the government does not attempt to link this information with the identity of individuals visiting our sites. If an attempt to damage our site is detected, we may take further actions.
