What Is DISP Membership? The Complete Explanation for Australian Defence Contractors

DISP — the Defence Industry Security Program — is the Australian Government's framework for managing security risks in the defence industry supply chain. DISP membership is mandatory for any Australian organisation that accesses classified Defence information, operates in classified Defence facilities, or supplies goods and services to Defence under contracts that specify a security classification. Membership is administered by the Department of Defence and assessed against the Defence Security Principles Framework (DSPF). Serious Defence helps organisations understand their obligations and achieve accreditation.
