CPCSC cost depends heavily on the certification level required. A Level 1 self-assessment is the lowest-cost entry point. The figures below are planning estimates in CAD.
Every figure below is a planning estimate that varies by scope. See also CPCSC for Canadian startups.
Typical ranges in Canadian dollars. These are estimates for planning, not quotes.
| Cost area | Typical range (CAD) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Readiness, gap, and SSP (Level 1) | $15,000 - $50,000 | Scoping, ITSP.10.171 gap assessment, SSP, and POA&M. |
| Third-party assessment (higher levels) | Assessor-dependent | Required for levels above self-assessment. |
| Tooling | Varies | Logging, MFA, encryption, and configuration hardening. |
| Ongoing | Recurring | Maintaining controls and re-attestation. |
Scope tightly to the systems that handle protected information, reuse any NIST SP 800-171 or CMMC work, and target Level 1 first before pursuing third-party-assessed levels.
traztech offers fixed-scope, productized engagements so the number is predictable. See pricing, or the CPCSC Readiness service page.
The certification level required and how much of your environment handles protected information. A Level 1 self-assessment is the lowest-cost entry point; third-party-assessed levels cost more.
