ND Defence Canada CGP Certification
A Canadian defence supplier needed to meet stringent Controlled Goods Program requirements to maintain eligibility for sensitive federal opportunities. We guided them through full CGP registration, documentation, and governance, ensuring long-term compliance and audit readiness.

Challenge
A Canadian SME needed to meet all requirements of Canada’s Controlled Goods Program to remain eligible to handle controlled military goods and sensitive technical data. The organization lacked the internal processes, documentation, and governance structures required for CGP registration and ongoing compliance, creating risk around federal eligibility, audits, and contract competitiveness.
Approach
We supported the organization through every stage of CGP preparation and compliance. This included assessing internal risks, preparing mandatory documentation, drafting required security briefings, and establishing robust handling, control, and safeguarding processes for controlled goods.
We helped identify designated officials, build compliant screening and control procedures, structure governance practices, and ensure that all internal controls met federal requirements and could withstand audit scrutiny.
Results
- Successfully achieved CGP registration and full compliance.
- Implemented sustainable governance and internal controls that ensured continuous adherence to federal requirements.
- Positioned the organization to confidently bid on and participate in sensitive federal defence opportunities while avoiding compliance delays and audit risks.
