A certified Canadian IoT platform for your most critical projects
In a landscape where data protection and digital sovereignty have become non-negotiable requirements, Amotus offers a combination that is unique in Canada: a proprietary IoT platform designed and operated domestically, backed by security certifications recognized by the federal government. Whether your project involves defense, critical infrastructure, or any sector demanding the highest level of trust, Fundamentum and the Amotus team are ready to deliver.
Controlled Goods Program Certification
Amotus and the Vectanor Group hold Controlled Goods Program (CGP) certification from the Government of Canada. This certification, administered by Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC), authorizes the examination, possession, and transfer of controlled goods and technology related to defense and national security.
The CGP is a requirement for any Canadian organization involved in defense contracts or handling goods with military or strategic applications.
SOC 2 Type 2 Compliance
The organization is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant, meaning its security, availability, and confidentiality controls have been independently audited over an extended period. This audit, conducted according to criteria defined by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), validates that Amotus' processes and systems meet the strictest standards for customer data management.
SOC 2 Type 2 compliance is particularly relevant for clients operating in regulated sectors — healthcare, energy, defense, government — who must demonstrate that their technology providers meet verifiable security standards.
Fundamentum — Sovereign Canadian IoT Platform
Fundamentum is Amotus' IoT Platform as a Service (PaaS). Fully customizable, it is designed and operated in Canada and can be deployed on any server infrastructure worldwide — including Canadian hosting providers or a client's own private infrastructure — enabling complete control over data location and governance. Clients who prefer hyperscale providers such as AWS or Azure may also choose those options, with full awareness of the jurisdictional implications of the U.S. Cloud Act.
Fundamentum includes:
- Device Management — configuration, monitoring, and remote updates
- IoT Edge Connect — edge computing and gateway management
- IoT Core — cloud infrastructure and data management
- ML/AI Engine — machine learning and artificial intelligence capabilities
- Insights — analytics and reporting dashboards
- DevSecOps — security-first development and operations practices
With over 850,000 connected devices managed through the platform and projects deployed in more than 15 countries, Fundamentum has proven itself at scale.
Member of the Stratys Defense Consortium
Amotus is a member of the Stratys consortium, alongside GENTEC, Techsol, and Triode. This consortium brings together Canadian companies specializing in defense engineering and contributes to Regional Industrial Benefits (RIB) programs tied to Canada's defense contracts.
This membership reinforces Amotus' positioning as a trusted provider for defense and national security projects requiring sovereign IoT solutions.
Data Sovereignty — Your Data Stays in Canada
Fundamentum can be deployed on any server infrastructure worldwide — including Canadian hosting providers or a client’s own private infrastructure — ensuring that data never leaves national territory when required. This flexibility meets data residency requirements imposed by Canadian regulation and government programs. For true data sovereignty, organizations should select infrastructure providers not subject to foreign legislation such as the U.S. Cloud Act, which can compel American-based cloud providers to disclose data stored abroad.
For organizations subject to the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) or Government of Canada security policies, this data sovereignty is not an advantage — it is a necessity.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Controlled Goods Program (CGP)?
The CGP is a Government of Canada program, administered by Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC), that authorizes registered organizations to examine, possess, and transfer controlled goods related to defense and national security. Amotus and the Vectanor Group hold this certification.
Is Fundamentum a sovereign IoT platform?
Yes. Fundamentum is a Canadian IoT/IIoT platform designed and operated by Amotus, a division of the Vectanor Group. It can be deployed on any server infrastructure — including Canadian hosting providers or private cloud — ensuring complete data sovereignty. For organizations requiring true sovereignty, it is important to choose providers not subject to the U.S. Cloud Act.
What security certifications does Amotus hold?
Amotus and the Vectanor Group hold Controlled Goods Program (CGP) certification from the Government of Canada and are SOC 2 Type 2 compliant, with independently audited security, availability, and confidentiality controls.
Can Fundamentum be used for defense IoT projects?
Yes. Fundamentum incorporates DevSecOps practices and is backed by the Vectanor Group's CGP certification and SOC 2 Type 2 compliance. Amotus is also a member of the Stratys defense consortium, alongside GENTEC, Techsol, and Triode.
Where is data hosted with Fundamentum?
Fundamentum offers full deployment flexibility on any server infrastructure worldwide — including Canadian hosting providers or a client’s own private infrastructure. Clients can choose to keep their data entirely in Canada, meeting data residency requirements under PIPEDA and government programs. Hyperscale providers (AWS, Azure) remain available as options, but clients should be aware that U.S.-based providers are subject to the Cloud Act regardless of where data is physically hosted.
