CPCSC readiness for Alberta founders and operators. CPCSC is Canada’s defence supply-chain cyber certification program, built on ITSP.10.171, the Canadian profile of NIST SP 800-171. If you want to bid on or stay on federal defence contracts, certification is becoming table stakes. We get you from “we have no idea where we stand” to a Level 1 self-assessment you can attest to, and lay the groundwork for the third-party-assessed higher levels.
Alberta tech is Calgary and Edmonton: energy-tech, logistics, agtech, industrial software, and B2B SaaS, with a strong research bench in Edmonton and a fast-growing founder community in Calgary. The buyers are what make this market different. Selling into energy, logistics, and industrial enterprises means real vendor security reviews, and those reviews arrive far earlier in the life of the company than a consumer play would ever see.
Alberta founders tend to get the security ask in the same order: a long questionnaire, then a request for a recent penetration test, then a SOC 2 report before procurement will move at all. We deliver all three on Mountain hours with no travel markup. The testing runs with our offensive-security partner; we scope it, and we write up what the findings mean for the deal that is waiting on them.
