3. Introduction
In order to participate in Government of Canada and Foreign Government contracts, you may be required to register with the Canadian Industrial Security Program (CISP) and registered, exempt or excluded from the Controlled Goods Program (CGP).
In order to qualify for a solicitation, Bidders must ensure their organization and any individuals requiring access to classified or protected information, assets or sensitive work sites meet the security requirements listed in the solicitation.
When a bid solicitation includes controlled goods information or technology, the Bidder must be registered, exempt or excluded from the CGP before receiving the bid solicitation.
When a bid solicitation does not include controlled goods information or technology, but the resulting contract will, the Bidder and any of its subcontractors must be registered, exempt or excluded from the CGP before examining, possessing or transferring controlled goods.

5. Registration – Canadian Industrial Security Program (CISP)
To initiate registration in the CISP, your organization must be sponsored by an organization that is already registered in the program.
The sponsor will issue a Subcontract containing security requirements identified in a Security Requirements Checklist (SRCL).
The completed checklist is submitted to PWGSC/CISD for approval.
If your organization doesn’t meet the identified security requirements, the sponsor will submit a Private Sector Organization Screening Form .
CISD will contact your organization.
Key Senior Officials and a Company Security Officer will be required to obtain a Personnel Security Clearance at the highest level requested on the sponsorship form.
Depending on the level, this can take up to 1 year. Once this process is complete, security clearances can be requested for other employees.

If a solicitation includes the requirement to handle or review information and/or assets, or access work sites that are classified at the National Interest Level, then both the organization and any employees requiring access to the assets, information or sites will have to hold the clearance levels listed within the solicitation and/or final contract (see Chart).
If there is a storage requirement included in the SRCL, then a room must be built to RCMP guidelines including all storage cabinets to a prescribed standard.
A CISD inspector assesses compliance.

7. Request for Visit (RFV)
When an individual must go to a government or industry site in Canada or abroad to access sensitive information/assets as part of a government contract, program, project or conference, they must submit a Request for Visit (RFV).
The Contract Security Program (CSP) approves Visits to secure Government of Canada sites or Canadian industrial sites where work on Protected or Classified information or assets is taking place.
Visits may be one-time or recurring depending on the need.
Approval for RFVs can typically take from days.

8. Registration – Controlled Goods Program (CGP)
Registration with the CGP is a legal requirement for any person examining, possessing or transferring controlled goods in Canada.
Export permits from the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development (DFATD) to transfer controlled goods outside of Canada also requires registration with the CGP.
To register in the program, a registration application for your business must be completed and submitted with Security Assessment Applications for (at minimum) a:
Designated Official (DO), and
Authorized Individual (AI)
Identify the type of Controlled Goods you will require access to and provide justification for your registration, such as work with ABC Company.
The registration process takes approximately 45 days.
Once your application is processed and your DO and AI are approved, your DO will receive the training required to assess the remainder of your employees. The DO will then have to perform Security Assessments on all your employees who have a requirement to examine, possess and/or transfer Controlled Goods.
