Agility CMS: The Canadian-Made Solution for Canadian Businesses and Government Agencies
Proud to be Canadian. Proud to serve Canadians.


Canadian businesses and government agencies rely on the web for communication. Their content – whether product updates for business or policy updates for government – must be relevant, accurate, and secure.
To achieve this, they need a content management system that ensures:
- Data sovereignty and compliance
- Security
- Scalability
- Flexibility
Agility CMS is the headless CMS trusted by Canadian enterprises and public sector organizations. It keeps content in Canada in terms of storage and processing. It enables seamless updates across channels. It allows developers to build and launch web properties with no limits.
Best of all, Agility CMS is a Canadian-made solution designed for reliability and robustness.
Data Sovereignty and Compliance: Keeping Canadian Data Safe in Canada
A 2019 study confirmed Canadians trust websites more if they’re hosted in Canada.
Consider these stats:
- 64% of Canadians prefer making online purchases from a Canadian retailer.
- 75% are more comfortable on a Canadian government site vs. a US site.
Data residency is a top priority for Canadians, which means it’s a top priority for Canadian businesses and government agencies.
With strict regulations like the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA), organizations must ensure that sensitive Canadian information remains within Canadian borders.
Agility CMS provides Canadian data residency options that comply with these requirements. By storing and processing content in Canada, Agility promotes data sovereignty and reduces the risks associated with foreign data storage.
Security: Meeting the Highest Standards
Security is paramount for organizations handling sensitive or private information. eCommerce sites are tasked with protecting things like payment info. Government sites have the responsibility of protecting Personal Identification Information (PII).
Agility CMS meets SOC 2 Type II Compliance. And it’s fortified with powerful security measures, such as:
- OAuth 2.0.
- Brute force protection and suspicious IP throttling.
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC).
- Enterprise-Grade Single Sign-On (SSO).
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
Whether managing enterprise content or public sector communications, Agility helps Canadian organizations meet industry-specific security mandates without compromise.
Scalability: Growing With Your Organization
As Canadian businesses and government agencies expand, their digital platforms must scale seamlessly. Agility CMS is one of the few Canadian-based solutions that offer a headless architecture.
This allows organizations to integrate with – and push content to – various platforms, applications, and emerging technologies without limitations.
Whether managing high-traffic government portals or enterprise websites across Canada, Agility CMS delivers optimal performance and scalability.
Flexibility: Empowering Canadian IT Teams
Agility CMS puts content management back where it belongs: in the hands of content marketers. But that doesn’t mean developers are excluded from its benefits.
Agility is API-first, meaning effortless integration with:
- Existing, or legacy, software.
- Third-party applications.
- Modern front-end frameworks.
This flexibility allows Canadian organizations to future-proof their digital infrastructure. No matter what direction a business or government agency takes, Agility’s smooth and efficient development process ensures digital properties always keep pace.
