Read the blog →CyberSecure Canada certifies small and medium organizations against the national baseline standard, CAN/DGSI 104. We get you ready, then an accredited certification body audits you.
Defence suppliers can also check the CPCSC Level 1 requirements on the same engagement.
phishing-resistant authentication for administrators, EDR at Level 2, training on AI-enabled social engineering, and supplier assurance
policies, an incident response plan and its test, backup and recovery testing, access control, and the evidence the auditor will ask for
Go through Phase 1 and Phase 2 with us, the gap analysis and the remediation support, and if your audit or certification returns a qualified opinion, a major nonconformity (MNC), or the equivalent on a control we prepared, we provide the remediation support to resolve it at no charge.
You go into the audit with every requirement evidenced and a workspace that keeps it current for renewal. The certificate is issued by an accredited certification body under the Standards Council of Canada programme; we prepare you and support you through it.
The price above covers the work. It also covers where the work lives, which most buyers are quoted separately as an annual platform subscription.

| What it costs inside an engagement with us | $0. You need a workspace either way | Unchanged. The subscription sits on top of the fee |
| What it does to your audit quote | A documented readiness position the audit firm can scope and price against | Nothing. The audit firm prices your readiness, not your tooling |
Platform pricing is a publicly reported range, since none of them publish a number. The fuller comparison, including when a paid platform is the better buy, is on the Workspace page.
The Standards Council of Canada administers the programme, and accredited certification bodies carry out the audits and issue certificates. The standard itself is CAN/DGSI 104, published by the Digital Governance Standards Institute. We are not a certification body; we prepare you for the audit.
Level 1 is for organizations starting out: the core requirements every certified organization meets. Level 2 adds controls for a more mature programme, such as EDR, phishing-resistant authentication for administrators, network segmentation and supplier assurance. We help you pick the level your buyers expect.
No. CPCSC is the Canadian Program for Cyber Security Certification for defence suppliers, and Level 1 is an annual self-assessment against 13 requirements. The two overlap heavily, so we assess both in one engagement when you need both.
It depends on what the gap analysis finds and on the certification body's schedule. After Phase 1 you get a realistic plan for remediation and the audit.
Budget two things: our readiness work and the certification body audit fee. Our Phase 1 gap analysis is a fixed price and Phase 2 is scoped from what it finds, so you see the number before you commit. The starting price is on our pricing page, and the certification body bills its audit separately.
It depends on who is asking and why. CyberSecure Canada is a recognized Canadian baseline that many smaller buyers, insurers and supply-chain partners accept, and it is a credible first certification. If your buyers name SOC 2 or ISO 27001 in contracts, start there instead. We help you pick the one that unblocks revenue.
