Today, BDO Canada announced the launch of its Defence Cyber Readiness Accelerator, a new advisory service designed to help businesses navigate the Canadian Program for Cyber Security Certification (CPCSC).
As the CPCSC, a new federal cybersecurity framework for defence procurement, introduces baseline cybersecurity requirements for organizations handling sensitive but unclassified defence information, BDO Canada’s Defence Cyber Readiness Accelerator is designed to help organizations prepare.
The offering supports businesses in assessing readiness, identifying compliance gaps, and building practical pathways toward certification and long-term procurement eligibility. As part of BDO Canada’s broader defence-sector offering spanning compliance, capability, and capital, the Accelerator is intended to help strengthen supply chain trust and support wider participation in Canada’s growing defence industry.
A narrowing window for Canadian suppliers
As the federal government begins integrating CPCSC requirements into upcoming defence procurement opportunities, organizations across the supply chain are facing increasing pressure to prepare. Companies that are unable to demonstrate the appropriate level of cybersecurity readiness may risk losing access to future contract opportunities and could face challenges maintaining eligibility for existing defence-related work.
Built on BDO’s defence sector experience
BDO Canada already serves more than 250 clients across the Canadian defence ecosystem, including aerospace manufacturers, robotics innovators, infrastructure firms, logistics providers, and technology suppliers. The firm’s defence industry team brings together cross-functional expertise across cybersecurity, regulatory compliance, government incentives, deal advisory, manufacturing, infrastructure, and public sector, giving businesses access to a single team that understands the full defence-entry lifecycle.
