Are you DISP-Ready?

Get DISP-ready with expert guidance so you can win Defence contracts and grow with confidence

Securitribe’s DISP Readiness Service helps businesses meet the stringent security requirements needed to participate in the Defence Industry Security Program (DISP). We provide a structured approach to ensure your security governance, risk assessments, policies, and cyber security measures align with Defence and regulatory expectations.

By leveraging our deep expertise in ISO 27001, ASD Essential Eight, the Information Security Manual (ISM), and Defence security frameworks, we guide businesses through the DISP accreditation process, reducing risk and ensuring compliance.

What is DISP and Why is It Important?

The Defence Industry Security Program (DISP) is an Australian Government initiative managed by the Department of Defence, designed to ensure that businesses working with Defence meet strict security standards across governance, personnel, physical, and cyber security domains.

If your organisation wants to win Defence work, subcontract for Defence projects, or handle sensitive Defence data, being DISP-ready is not just beneficial—it’s essential. DISP membership demonstrates that your business can securely manage Defence-related information, personnel, and systems, building trust with government clients and partners.

For many businesses, DISP is a gateway to bigger contracts, long-term relationships, and market differentiation in a highly competitive industry. But achieving compliance isn’t a checkbox exercise—it’s about aligning your operations to Defence’s security expectations and showing you’re a safe pair of hands.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is DISP, and why is it important?

The Defence Industry Security Program (DISP) is a security framework required for organisations working with Defence contracts, sensitive information, or Defence-related projects. It ensures companies meet security, governance, and risk management standards.

DISP requires organisations to implement and maintain:

  • Security Risk Assessments & Policies

  • Personnel Security & Employment Screening

  • Cyber Security Controls & ASD Essential Eight Maturity

  • Security Incident Response & Reporting Procedures

We provide gap analysis, policy development, risk assessments, security control implementation, and DISP audit support to ensure full compliance.

Without DISP compliance, businesses may be unable to secure Defence contracts or work with sensitive government data. Our service ensures your security maturity meets the necessary standards.

The timeline varies based on existing security controls, documentation readiness, and risk management maturity. We provide a structured roadmap to accelerate compliance.
