GCdocs
The GCdocs Program was transferred from Public Services and Procurement Canada to Shared Services Canada (SSC) on July 2, 2026.
GCdocs is an information management platform service that enables departments to securely manage information up to Protected B, as well as Secret information in a dedicated Secret environment. Trusted by more than 70 federal organizations, it helps public servants organize, protect, and access information to support effective government operations and better services for Canadians.
