If you supply the defence sector, certification is quietly becoming the line between winning defence work and being locked out of it.
Canada's new cyber security certification program, CPCSC, is live, and its requirements have started appearing in defence contracts. For Canadian manufacturers, that shifts what it takes to stay in the running.
On August 25, MLD Solutions is hosting a free info session for Canadian defence suppliers — in person in London and online — alongside ThinkOn and CyberCare Pro, with funding and advisory partners on hand to answer questions. We'll cover what CPCSC (and its US counterpart, CMMC) actually require, how data sovereignty fits in, how you can manage the tracking and evidence required, where government funding can help, and the practical steps to becoming defence-ready.
If you're already bidding on defence work, or just trying to understand what's coming, you'll leave knowing where you stand and what to do next.
