DISP Compliance for Defence Engineering Firms — Technical Data, Physical Security and Clearances

Engineering firms working on classified Defence projects — from platform design to systems integration — must hold DISP membership and comply with the Defence Security Principles Framework. CASG (Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group) contracts routinely require DISP membership as a condition of engagement. Requirements span all four DSPF domains: governance and risk management, personnel security clearances, ICT security including Essential Eight ML2, and physical security for facilities handling classified technical data. DISPath guides engineering firms through gap assessment, Security Plan development, and DISP application submission.
