What the Registration Allows Solutions ited Inc. To Do
As a CGP registrant, Solutions ited Inc. is permitted to examine, possess and transfer controlled goods within the framework set by the program.
We apply the safeguarding requirements defined by the federal regulation. For you, that means an IT partner able to operate in an environment where this compliance is required.
A Need Already Made Clear by Those in the Field
In some discussions with clients, this requirement has already been cited as an important factor in selecting a managed services provider.
Solutions ited Inc.’s enrollment in the PMC helps mitigate this potential obstacle when this requirement applies.

- It does not grant automatic access to defence contracts;
- It does not allow us to discuss clients, projects or sensitive information.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Controlled Goods Program
What is the Controlled Goods Program?
The CGP is Canada’s national industrial security program.
Administered by Public Services and Procurement Canada, it regulates the examination, possession and transfer of controlled goods in Canada under the Defence Production Act.
Who Must Register with the CGP?
Any person or organization that examines, possesses or transfers controlled goods in Canada must register, unless exempt or excluded.
This can also apply to certain suppliers and subcontractors, depending on their actual access to controlled goods or their technical data.
Why Can an IT Provider Be Affected by the CGP?
Technical data associated with controlled goods, including in electronic form, falls under the program.
If that data is hosted, processed or accessible within an IT or cloud environment, the provider’s role should be assessed. Depending on the level of access, the provider may need to be registered.
Which Organizations Are Typically Concerned?
Often aerospace, defence and specialized manufacturing companies, along with suppliers and subcontractors in sensitive supply chains.
The requirement frequently comes from prime contractors.
Is CGP Registration a Security Clearance?
No. CGP registration is not a government security clearance at the Secret or Top Secret level, and it is not a technical certification such as ISO 27001.
It is a regulatory registration and compliance framework.
How Do I Know If My IT Environment Is Affected?
It depends on the nature of your data and your prime contractors’ requirements.
The simplest path is to talk with an IT expert familiar with these environments. Since Solutions ited Inc. is registered with the CGP, we can help you see clearly.
