Overview
Iron Fort - Canada PBMM Readiness & GC Procurement Listing
Breaking into the Canadian government market is one of the most valuable growth opportunities for a SaaS company. But it requires navigating a complex compliance and procurement landscape. To sell to federal departments, your product must meet the Protected B, Medium Integrity, Medium Availability (PBMM) security profile under ITSG-33. And to be discoverable by government buyers, you need to be listed on the right procurement vehicles - including the SaaS Supply Arrangement (RFSA) and the Standing List of Suppliers Agreement (SLSA).
Most SaaS companies don't have the in-house expertise to do this alone. Iron Fort does it with you.
Iron Fort's PBMM Readiness service is a structured, fixed-price, six-month engagement that takes your company from wherever you are today to PBMM-authorized and procurement-listed. We combine the Iron Fort compliance platform with hands-on expert guidance to compress timelines and remove the guesswork.
Phase 1 - PBMM Gap Assessment
We start with a comprehensive assessment of your environment and security controls against the full ITSG-33 Annex 3 control catalogue. You receive a detailed gap analysis - prioritized by severity - covering your cloud infrastructure, access controls, data handling, and documentation. This gives your team a precise picture of what needs to change to achieve PBMM authorization.
Phase 2 - Remediation Planning and Support
Based on the gap assessment, we build a detailed remediation plan with clear, actionable steps. Our experts support your team throughout - answering questions, reviewing changes, and confirming that your controls meet ITSG-33 requirements. Progress is tracked in the Iron Fort platform so everyone has a live view of your readiness state.
Phase 3 - SA&A Documentation
We prepare your complete Security Assessment & Authorization (SA&A) package - including your System Security Plan (SSP), Statement of Applicability (SOA), Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) inputs, Plans of Action & Milestones (PoA&M), and risk acceptance documentation. All documentation is bilingual (English and French) and formatted to meet Government of Canada submission standards.
Phase 4 - GC Procurement Listing
Once your product is PBMM-authorized, we guide your application to the SaaS Supply Arrangement (RFSA) and Standing List of Suppliers Agreement (SLSA) - the primary procurement vehicles through which federal departments discover and purchase SaaS solutions. We prepare your security questionnaire responses, format supporting documentation, and guide your submission through to approval.
