Defence Industry Security Program (DISP) compliance

Strengthening Security with Defence Industry Security Program Compliance

Ensuring your organisation's security posture meets the rigorous standards of the Defence Industry Security Program (DISP) is essential for working with defence contracts and protecting sensitive information. Siege Cyber offers tailored services to help your organisation achieve DISP compliance, a framework designed to safeguard defence industry participants. By aligning with DISP requirements, your organisation can demonstrate its commitment to security, meet contractual obligations, and maintain eligibility for defence-related work.

What is the Defence Industry Security Program (DISP)?

DISP is an Australian Government framework established to ensure defence industry participants adhere to high-security standards across physical, personnel, information, and cyber security. It provides clear guidance for managing and protecting sensitive defence information, enabling organisations to demonstrate their reliability and readiness to handle defence contracts. Achieving DISP compliance, DISP accreditation, and DISP Membership positions your organisation as a trusted partner in the defence supply chain.
