Secure Your Controlled Goods with F12’s Certified IT Services
Specialised IT Solutions for Businesses Handling Controlled Goods—Protecting Your Assets, Ensuring Compliance, and Streamlining Operations.
Canadian Controlled Goods IT Services
Your Registered IT Partner in the Controlled Goods Program
If your organisation examines, possesses, or transfers controlled goods in Canada, you’re likely registered under the Controlled Goods Program (CGP). It’s crucial to understand that any outsourced IT support company you work with must also be CGP-registered if they could access controlled goods during their services.
At F12, we are a fully registered IT company under the Controlled Goods Program, ensuring that all your IT needs are handled in compliance with strict national security standards. Whether you manage IT internally but require external support for specific projects or lack the manpower or expertise in certain areas, F12 is here to assist. Our clients benefit from knowing that we are CGP-registered, allowing them to focus on their core business without worrying about compliance issues.
Why Compliance Matters
Outsourcing IT support to a company not registered under the Controlled Goods Program could place your organization in violation of CGP regulations. Even if you’re satisfied with the services provided, this is a critical issue that requires immediate attention. If you’re not entirely happy with their level of service, it’s even more urgent to review your IT support arrangements sooner rather than later.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Controlled Goods?
According to the Government of Canada, controlled goods are primarily goods, including components and technical data, that have military or national security significance. These are regulated domestically by the Government of Canada and defined in the Defence Production Act. Controlled goods can include:
- Goods, including components and technology, such as blueprints and technical specifications in either paper or electronic format. These items may hold strategic significance or national security implications, regardless of where they were manufactured.
- Defence articles originating from the United States that are controlled by the United States Munitions List—part 121 of the United States International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), as amended from time to time.
- Goods manufactured from technical data originating from the United States, controlled by the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, regardless of their manufacturing location.
Why must my IT service provider be CGP-registered?
Any IT provider that could potentially access controlled goods during their services must be CGP-registered to comply with Canadian regulations. F12’s CGP registration ensures your business remains compliant.
What happens if my IT support is not CGP-registered?
Outsourcing to a non-CGP-registered IT provider could lead to violations of the Controlled Goods Program, which is why it’s critical to partner with a compliant provider like F12.
Can F12 manage our entire IT infrastructure or just support our in-house team?
