What is the CPCSC?
The Canadian Cyber Security Certification Program (CPCSC) was designed to better protect sensitive information exchanged within the Canadian defence supply chain. Inspired by the American CMMC model, this program is based on the NIST 800-171 revision 3 standard.
In fact, Canada adapted this standard to its own regulatory context by developing ITSP.10.171, a Canadian version inspired by NIST 800-171 that serves as the technical basis for the SCCP.
