Hardent Certified With the Industrial Security Program

August 23, 2011

Hardent’s FPGA design expertise is eligible to service the Canadian defense and controlled goods sector.

Hardent is excited to announce its acceptance into the Canadian Controlled Goods Program (CGP). The Controlled Goods Program (CGP) was created in 2001 to strengthen the Canada-U.S. agreement on defense trade controls. The Program is managed under the authorities of the Production Act and the Controlled Goods Regulations. The CGP is also essential to maintaining the unique Canadian exemption with respect to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).

This program, run by the federal government, manages the procedures by which private industry has access to classified information. By being accepted into the program, Hardent is now eligible to consult on defense-related and military FPGA design projects run by either by the federal government or other agencies.

Certification for the Canadian controlled goods program requires companies to comply with various legal and security measures. The detailed record-keeping of information, together with an extensive training program aimed at everyone involved is among the requirements, including an intensive few months of background checks.

This certification enables Hardent to be ready for the October 2011 Phase II launch of the Canadian Goods Program, which is meant to create a more secure environment for business and government and also to meet those standards outlined in section 126.18 of the ITAR. “We are excited to move ahead and be on the forefront of the Controlled Goods Program. Being so will allow us to continue to fully service our clients in the security and defense sector,” Simon Robin, the president and founder of Hardent announced.

I’ve worked with Hardent for many years and have recommended them a few times in the past. Hardent has always been extremely successful with their clients. They have many flexible ways of working with a client and will negotiate a mutually beneficial solution.

In our case, they just log into our servers and we are in constant contact via IM, email, phone, etc., but they have all their own design tools as well, so they can work either way. Being in the same time zone makes working with them easy. I am sure you will be happy with the outcome of their work. They’ll hit the ground running much faster than a single contractor would.
