Defence Vendor Readiness

From Workshop to Defence Supply Chain

Australia's defence industry is growing fast, and the supply chain opportunities for local manufacturers and service providers are enormous. But breaking in means meeting a gauntlet of compliance requirements that can feel impenetrable—DISP membership, the Defence and Protective Security Policy Framework (D/PSPF), ITAR considerations, and more.

We've worked on the "inside" of these environments. We know what assessors look for, what documentation is non-negotiable, and where most applicants get stuck. Whether you're a precision manufacturer, an electronics supplier, or a logistics company looking to bid on your first Defence contract, we help you build the systems and governance structures that get you through the door.

What We Cover

DISP Readiness — The Defence Industry Security Program is your gateway credential. We review your current security posture, identify gaps in personnel security, physical security, governance, and ICT infrastructure, then build and implement a remediation plan that satisfies Defence requirements at the membership level you need.

D/PSPF Alignment— If you're supplying to any Federal Government department—not just Defence—the Protective Security Policy Framework sets the baseline. We map your existing policies and systems against the PSPF's four outcomes (governance, personnel, physical, and information security) and close the gaps efficiently.

Supply Chain Integration — Compliance is just the starting position. We also help you set up the secure communication channels, document management, and reporting workflows that prime contractors and government buyers actually expect from their vendor ecosystem.
