Verdict and scorecard
Enter now, enter through a partner, or stay commercial and prepare, with an eleven-row scorecard and the one fact that would change the verdict.

3
CPCSC level check
Which level of the Canadian Program for Cyber Security Certification (CPCSC) your likely contracts call for, and the list of gaps to close.

Vehicle map
The federal sourcing routes open to a company like yours, each with the date its status was checked.
5
Partner shortlist method
How to choose a prime contractor or an integrator to enter through, and what to bring to the first meeting.
What the Sprint covers
- It prepares the evidence a contracting authority reads. Contract awards and security clearances are decided by the Crown, on its own process.
- Programs and sourcing routes change, so every status in the deliverable is dated and names its source.
- You decide whether to bid; the verdict tells you what entry will take and in what order.
What comes next
If a certification or registration is the gate, read how the programs differ on Compliance programs. If the verdict is to enter, the gate and the sales motion behind it can be run together through Regulated Market Access.
