The Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA),
formerly known as Revenue Canada, administers four functions on behalf of
the Government of Canada - tax collection, trade regulation, customs
enforcement and distribution of social payments to Canadians. The CCRA aims
to promote compliance with Canada's tax, trade and border legislation, while
being committed to the values of integrity, professionalism, respect and
cooperation.
With the agency employing nearly 25,000
workers with Internet access, the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency sought
an employee Internet management (EIM) software product to automate the
agency's Internet access policy. The CCRA's needs were specific: the
solution should prevent access to inappropriate sites using comprehensive
decision-making intelligence, while allowing certain groups to access sites
specific to their job function - for example, enabling the CCRA's customs
inspectors to access firearms imports sites.
After evaluating several products in the
EIM market, the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency selected Websense
Enterprise software. The CCRA integrates the filtering solution with its
existing Microsoft Proxy Server.
"In addition to Websense Enterprise's
excellent database categorization, the product is fully automated,"
said Jamie Belair, CCRA senior technical specialist. "And the
administration tool enables access to certain material for the various
groups of people who require it."
