Brand & Press Kit

Brand and press kit for Security Standards Canada: correct name usage, logo, colours, and typography. For editorial and media use.

Name

The name is Security Standards Canada. Write it in full on first use. It is one organization name, not an acronym expansion, so do not reorder it to "Canadian Security Standards" or lead with an initialism. "SSC" is acceptable only as an internal shorthand, never as the public name.

The domain is securitystandards.ca. Security Standards Canada is an independent, vendor-neutral resource. It is not a government body, a certification authority, or a standards-development organization, and it should not be described as one.
