Defence
Businesses who participate in the Australian Defence industry or its supply chain may be required to obtain accreditation under the Defence Industry Security Program (DISP).
DISP membership ensures Australian businesses meet the minimum security requirements to provide services, products and capabilities to Defence and other government entities (Australian or foreign). By participating in DISP, businesses can demonstrate their commitment to security and their ability to meet the security requirements of Defence contracts.
Defence Industry Security Program Compliance
Depending on your business and contractual needs, the following four cyber security standards can be chosen when applying for DISP membership:
- ASD Essential 8 (Top 4) Australian standard
- NIST SP 800-171 US standard
- Def Stan 05-138 UK standard
- ISO 27001 and 27002 International standard
There are four key categories that the DISP will assess you against:
- Personnel security
- Physical security
- Information & Cyber Security
- Security Governance
These four categories will be assessed against your level of membership, the higher level of membership needed, the more rigorous the assessment. The levels are:
- Entry Level-Official/Official:Sensitive
- Level 1-Protected
- Level 2-Secret
- Level 4-Top Secret
