MONTREAL, Canada – April 2026 – Nakisa, a global leader in enterprise solutions for complex, mission-critical decisions, announced that its cloud-native platform has been formally authorized under the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS) Cloud Local Assessment Program. This confirms that Nakisa solutions meet the requirements of the Government of Canada Protected B / Medium Integrity / Medium Availability (PBMM) Cloud Security Profile.
This authorization complements Nakisa's existing security compliance portfolio and strengthens the company's ability to serve clients in heavily regulated sectors, such as government, financial services, energy, and healthcare.
Achieving Canadian Centre for Cyber Security Protected B authorization is an important milestone for Nakisa. Many organizations struggle to meet these requirements because their architecture was not designed from the ground up to support this level of security and compliance. For the public sector, highly regulated industries, and large enterprises, security, compliance, and scalability cannot be an afterthought. At Nakisa, these principles are foundational to our cloud-native architecture.
This milestone reflects our ability to meet rigorous government standards and gives our clients confidence to manage sensitive data, make high-impact decisions, and accelerate AI-driven innovation on a secure and trusted platform.

What is CCCS PBMM Authorization?
The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS) assessment is a comprehensive, government-led evaluation of a cloud service provider’s security controls, processes, and architecture against federal security requirements. The assessment includes multiple components, such as a Supply Chain Integrity (SCI) evaluation, a physical and personnel security review conducted by Public Services and Procurement Canada, and a technical cloud security assessment performed by the Cyber Centre against Government of Canada Cloud Control Profiles. Nakisa has successfully completed all applicable components of this process.
The Protected B classification applies to data that, if compromised, could result in serious harm to individuals or organizations. Achieving PBMM is a key benchmark for security and risk management across both the public and private sectors.
