The defence on-ramp Defence-ready cloud built for SMEs
Citadelle is the pre-secured cloud that makes your SME eligible for defence contracts. Hosted on AWS Canada and built to CCCS Medium and Protected B.
You focus on building while we handle compliance.
The compliance wall
The defence market is opening. The entry bar is rising.
Canada's Defence Industrial Strategy names secure cloud a key sovereign capability and CPCSC Level 1, the new cyber requirement for defence suppliers, is set to be required in select DND contracts from summer 2026. Primes are already pushing these requirements down. More than 9 in 10 companies in Canada's defence industrial base are SMEs, and most aren't equipped to meet them.
Citadelle tears that wall down in three steps. No overhaul required.
We deploy your compliant foundation.
A pre-secured pre-audited cloud foundation deployed across two Canadian regions in days.
We deliver the tools you need.
An à la carte toolkit that adjusts to your contracts and your reality.
You build while we handle compliance.
You operate in a defence-grade environment. We hold the line to keep it current.
