CDIC is a Canadian federal agency tasked with protecting deposits when member banks fail. The organization is mid-sized (51–200 employees) and Azure-native, with a tech stack built entirely on Microsoft services (Defender, Sentinel, Azure DevOps, Application Insights). Active projects center on enterprise architecture, IT governance, and a migration to Azure, suggesting CDIC is consolidating its infrastructure footprint and standardizing governance — typical of government agencies modernizing legacy systems while managing strict compliance and cost controls.
