Micrologic launches Canadian Sovereign Digital Vault for cyber-recovery data

Québec-based Micrologic has opened its Canadian Sovereign Digital Vault to businesses and institutions, pitching an isolated, Canada-hosted data copy that organizations can use to resume operations after a cyber incident, the company said in an Oct. 2 NewsWire / CNW release.

The product was unveiled at Convergence 2026 in Québec City’s Voltigeurs Armoury before more than 1,000 technology stakeholders. Micrologic says the Vault uses its Cirrus cloud stack to lock away a high-capacity recovery copy under exclusively Canadian jurisdiction. CEO Stéphane Garneau framed the project as resilience and “the first step towards digital sovereignty,” calling its scope a major project of national interest. The firm cites technology already used for government, municipal, health-care and financial clients, plus recent $45-million support from the Fonds de solidarité FTQ and Investissement Québec. Micrologic says it signed Québec Clauses with the provincial government that restrict a sale to foreign buyers, plans hundreds of millions more in infrastructure and R&D investment, and claims the Vault could “bring back” nearly $5-billion to Canada over ten years — a company projection, not an independent audit.

The release argues three U.S. providers control about 85 per cent of Canada’s cloud market and that the domestic cloud market reached nearly $26-billion in 2025, with most spending going to American firms. Micrologic positions itself as the only Canadian sovereign cloud recognized by Gartner and says it serves more than 30 government organizations and large enterprises with revenue above $1.5-billion. Convergence also featured a Liberal–Parti Québécois panel on digital sovereignty ahead of Quebec’s Oct. 5 election.

For Canadian CIOs under pressure to keep sensitive workloads onshore, the launch adds a domestic cyber-recovery option — while buyers will still need to test recovery SLAs, certifications and lock-in against the hyperscale clouds that dominate day-to-day compute.
