Why are Canadian buyers filtering vendors on data sovereignty?

Federal and provincial privacy laws — PIPEDA, Quebec's Law 25, Alberta's PIPA, BC's FIPPA — require organizations to assess jurisdictional risk before selecting vendors. The federal Buy Canadian procurement policy (December 2025) further prioritizes Canadian suppliers. 82% of SaaS tools in our index fall under foreign jurisdiction.

Who is behind Upper Harbour?

Upper Harbour was founded by Josh van Es, a corporate lawyer published in The Globe and Mail, Maclean's, OpenCanada, and BetaKit. The platform maintains Canada's most comprehensive technology sovereignty dataset — 755+ tools mapped by jurisdiction, ownership, and CLOUD Act exposure.
