An info session for Canadian Defence Suppliers
Data Sovereignty and Guidance You can Trust
CPCSC and CMMC regulations are rewriting the rules for defence contracting, and the compliance deadline is closer than most manufacturers realize.
In this free one and a half hour info-session you will hear about the requirements, options, advisory services and funding opportunities to help you on the road to certification.
The Canadian Program for Cyber Security Certification (CPCSC) is Canada's framework for strengthening cybersecurity across the defence supply chain. Designed for Canadian contractors and subcontractors that handle sensitive government information, CPCSC helps organizations demonstrate their ability to safeguard protected data and meet evolving cybersecurity requirements.
Comparable to the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program established by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), CPCSC aligns with similar objectives, scope, and implementation timelines, supporting a trusted and secure defence industrial base in both Canada and the United States, specifically Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
Presenting Partners
CyberCare Pro will walk you through what CMMC and CPCSC actually require, which compliance level applies to your business, and what a realistic certification roadmap looks like for a small or medium-sized manufacturer.
MLD Solutions Inc. will explore the operational side of defence readiness. Compliance requires more than cybersecurity. It depends on having accurate, traceable, and accessible business data across your organization. Learn how SaaS ERP solutions, automated workflows, digital document management, and composable business applications can reduce manual processes, improve visibility, strengthen audit readiness, and create a secure digital foundation for participating in the defence supply chain.
ThinkOn will provide insight into Canadian data hosting options and the importance of data sovereignty, secure infrastructure, and Canadian-controlled cloud environments for organizations working with sensitive information.
Ecosystem Partners
Ontario Centre of Innovation (OCI) will discuss available programs, resources, and funding opportunities that can help manufacturers accelerate their compliance and modernization initiatives.
TechAlliance empowers entrepreneurs and growing businesses with advisory services, funding connections, mentorship, and access to the innovation ecosystem needed to scale and succeed.
By the end of this webinar, participants will:
- Know whether CMMC or CPCSC applies to their business and at which level

- See what a realistic compliance roadmap looks like for an SME manufacturer
