  • Documentation assessment for Canadian Department of National Defence standards
  • Technical evaluation of current information system protection measures
  • Identification of control gaps requiring immediate remediation efforts

NIST SP 800-171 Gap Assessment Expertise

The CPCSC framework builds directly on NIST SP 800-171 standards, making prior compliance experience valuable but insufficient. We assess both your existing NIST posture and Canadian-specific requirements.

Many San Diego organizations already working with US defense agencies have foundational controls in place. Our team identifies what transfers to CPCSC and what additional measures are necessary.

  • Comparison analysis between CMMC, NIST, and CPCSC requirements
  • Identification of existing controls meeting Canadian standards exactly
  • Assessment of policy documentation for Canadian Department acceptability
  • Technical testing of security measures for ITSP.10.171 compliance
  • Gap prioritization based on certification timeline and resource availability

ITSP.10.171 Gap Analysis and Controls Checklist

Our structured approach examines each ITSP.10.171 control family systematically. We verify technical implementation, review supporting documentation, and test effectiveness of security measures against Canadian Department of National Defence standards.

The assessment produces a detailed controls checklist showing implementation status for every requirement. San Diego contractors receive clear guidance on which controls need immediate attention and which meet standards.

  • Access control evaluation including account management and enforcement
  • Audit and accountability system review for logging requirements
  • Configuration management assessment for baseline security settings
  • Identification and authentication mechanism testing and documentation
  • Incident response, system integrity, and media protection analysis

Why Choose Plurilock for CPCSC Readiness?

Preparing for CPCSC (Canadian Program for Cyber Security Certification) demands deep knowledge of the certification framework, careful evidence preparation, and hands-on technical implementation. Plurilock delivers with compliance readiness specialists serving Canadian defense suppliers who bring proven experience guiding contractors through cybersecurity certification programs on both sides of the border.

As an established CMMC readiness provider for U.S. defense contractors, we were among the first to extend that expertise north—launching CPCSC readiness services early and serving Canadian defense suppliers from the program's earliest days. We don't conduct audits; we get you ready for them, then help you stay ready.

Why we're the superior choice:

  • First-mover CPCSC expertise: Plurilock was among the first firms to launch dedicated CPCSC readiness services—and among the first to serve clients in this practice—giving your organization a partner with real, accumulated experience preparing suppliers for certification.
  • Deep CMMC heritage: Our established U.S. defense contractor practice has guided organizations through CMMC readiness for years, and those underlying controls map closely to CPCSC—we bring battle-tested methodologies, not theory borrowed from adjacent frameworks.
  • Federal experience on both sides of the border: With extensive engagements across U.S. and Canadian federal government environments, we understand the contractual, technical, and procedural realities that shape defense supply chain compliance.
  • Readiness assessment and gap analysis: We evaluate your current posture against CPCSC requirements, identify control gaps with precision, and deliver clear, prioritized roadmaps that align remediation effort to certification level and contract obligations.
  • Strategy and execution, not just paperwork: Beyond identifying gaps, we help you execute—planning the remediation program, supporting policy and evidence development, and preparing your team and systems so that when the assessor arrives, you're ready.

CPCSC-ready—with proven defense contractor experience guiding every step.
