Northfleet is the sovereign supply chain Canada's classified Kubernetes still has to buy.
A Canadian-incorporated Kubernetes supply chain vendor supplying the bundle protocol, attestation chain, and audit trail that cleared engineering teams apply to their Protected B and Secret clusters.
The procurement floor moved. The supply chain didn't.
Canada's Defence Industrial Strategy committed the country to a domestic defence industrial base, with explicit procurement preference for Canadian-controlled infrastructure. The DSRB is now headquartered in Canada. BDC's Defence Platform is deploying capital to operators that can hold the jurisdiction line.
Every meaningful Kubernetes platform in production at Canadian defence primes today operates under foreign jurisdiction. The CLOUD Act reaches into all of them.
No Canadian-incorporated vendor ships the supply chain for classified Kubernetes with a trust path no foreign authority governs. That is the gap. Northfleet is the answer to it.
Verifiable by design. Sovereign by jurisdiction.
Northfleet's attestation chain lets engineering and accreditation teams verify what is running using widely available cryptographic tooling, on their own terms, without privileged access to Northfleet. The commercial value sits in vendor jurisdiction and supply-chain control, where it cannot be forked away.
Verifiable end to end
Every artifact is signed and accompanied by a software bill of materials. The attestation chain, from deploy-time signing to admission, is inspectable with standard open-source signing tooling, by the customer's own engineers and accreditation teams. Trust is earned in the math, not the marketing.
Vendor under Canadian jurisdiction
Northfleet is incorporated in Canada and operates from Canadian infrastructure. There is no foreign parent, and no foreign legal authority over the supply chain it ships. That is the moat.
