Defence-Ready — Your Roadmap to CCMMC/CPCSC Compliance for Manufacturers

Is Your Manufacturing Business Defence-Ready?

​CMMC 2.0 (U.S.) and CPCSC (Canada) require every supplier in the Defence Industrial Base to certify their cybersecurity program before bidding. Most SMEs have no program, no roadmap, and no idea where to start. The window is closing fast. Canada’s defence industrial base represents $12B+ in annual procurement. Globally, the U.S. DIB spans $400B+, touching 80,000+ suppliers. Non-certified manufacturers are locked out — regardless of their product quality or price. Compliance isn’t a checkbox. It’s the contract.

​Canada’s CMMC and CPCSC regulations are rewriting the rules for defence contracting — and the compliance deadline is closer than most manufacturers realize. In this free one-hour webinar, CyberCare Pro walks you through what CMMC and CPCSC actually require, which compliance level applies to your business, and what a realistic certification roadmap looks like for an SME manufacturer. You’ll also learn how to access up to $10,000 in grant funding to offset your compliance costs from OCI. No jargon. No pressure. Just the information you need to compete for defence contracts with confidence.

​By the end of this webinar, participants will: -Know whether CMMC or CPCSC applies to their business — and at which level -Understand the enforcement timeline and what happens to non-certified suppliers after October 2026 -See what a realistic compliance roadmap looks like for an SME manufacturer -Learn how to access up to $10,000 in CIT grant funding -Leave with a clear decision: whether to pursue certification.

​Built for Ontario SME manufacturers — owners, executives, and technical leads — who are pursuing or planning to pursue U.S. DoD or Canadian defence contracts and need to understand what CMMC and CPCSC compliance requires before they commit to implementation.
