DISP Compliance for Legal Firms — Legal Professional Privilege, PSPF and Classified Matters

Australian law firms advising on classified Defence contracts, security clearance matters, or AUKUS transactions must hold DISP membership. Legal professional privilege does not exempt a firm from DISP obligations — the DSPF applies to any organisation accessing classified Defence information. Key requirements include personnel security clearances for lawyers handling classified briefs, ICT security uplift to Essential Eight ML2, and secure facilities for classified consultations. DISPulse provides continuous DISP and PSPF compliance monitoring with 1-click Annual Security Report generation.
