Secure Your Defence Future with Expert DISP Consultancy

As Australia’s defence sector continues to grow, businesses aiming to work with the Department of Defence must meet strict security standards. Whether you're a tech startup, logistics provider, or advanced manufacturer, aligning with the Defence Industry Security Program (DISP) is no longer optional, it’s a strategic necessity. That’s where a trusted disp consultancy like IntegPro becomes your most valuable partner.

What Is DISP?

The Defence Industry Security Program (DISP) is an accreditation framework managed by the Australian Government’s Defence Industry Security Office (DISO). It ensures that companies working with Defence meet high standards in:

• Governance: Strong leadership and risk management

• Cyber Security: Protection of sensitive and classified data

• Personnel Security: Vetting and managing trusted staff

• Physical Security: Securing facilities and assets

• DISP is not just about compliance, it’s about building trust with Defence and positioning your business for long-term success.

  
  

Understanding DISP Levels: Which One Is Right for You?

DISP offers four levels of membership, each tailored to the sensitivity of the work your business undertakes. Choosing the right disp level is critical to your success:

1. Entry Level DISP Membership

• For businesses handling OFFICIAL or OFFICIAL: Sensitive information

• Required for basic Defence site access

• Ideal for subcontractors and SMEs entering the Defence supply chain

2. Level 1 DISP Membership

• Required for access to PROTECTED information

• Involves more rigorous cyber and personnel security requirements

• Suitable for companies working directly with Defence or prime contractors

3. Level 2 DISP Membership

• For organisations handling SECRET-level information

• Requires advanced physical and cyber security controls

• Often needed for high-value Defence projects

4. Level 3 DISP Membership

• The highest level, for handling TOP SECRET information

• Demands full-spectrum security compliance

• Typically reserved for major Defence contractors and integrators

Each disp level builds upon the previous, and your business must demonstrate increasing levels of maturity and capability to progress.
