What is CPCSC, in plain terms
The Canadian Program for Cyber Security Certification (CPCSC) is the Government of Canada's cyber security certification for companies that supply defense contracts. If you bid on those contracts, it may start to appear as a requirement.
The three levels
- Level 1: annual self-assessment, 13 controls (CCCS ITSP.10.171). May appear in select defense contracts from summer 2026.
- Level 2: 98 controls, assessed every three years by a certification body accredited by the Standards Council of Canada. Gradually added to select defense contracts from April 2027 to March 2028.
- Level 3: 200 controls, assessed every three years by the Government of Canada.
