Here is the honest situation. The Defence Industry Security Program is the gateway for Australian businesses to do defence work, and it sets obligations across four security categories: governance, personnel, physical, and information and cyber security. Membership requires appointing a Chief Security Officer and Security Officer, security clearances at the required level, a security plan and risk assessment, meeting the Information Security Manual and the Essential Eight, physical security to the PSPF zones, and ongoing reporting of incidents and changes with an annual security report. Building that program and evidencing it to Defence is real work, and a member with an unmet Essential Eight maturity or lapsed clearances is exactly where members fall short.
This Kit removes the guesswork. It is every DISP obligation written as an adopt-ready control you personalize in a weekend, with the evidence a Defence assessor examines.
What you get, the moment you buy
Grounded in the Defence Industry Security Program, with the four security categories, the CSO and SO roles, the personnel clearances, the PSPF physical zones, the Information Security Manual and Essential Eight, and the reporting duties called out. Editable Word and Excel files.
What one control looks like
This is membership eligibility, the security categories and the levels, where DISP begins. All 34 are built to this depth.
Why this is not another template pack
- The evidence is the point. A control you cannot evidence risks your membership. This tells you what a Defence assessor examines and where members fall short, for every obligation.
- Governance, personnel, physical and cyber built in. The CSO and SO roles, the clearances, the PSPF zones and the ISM and Essential Eight controls are written in, the substance DISP requires.
- Built on a mapped compliance corpus, not one person's opinion, from a graph of thousands of controls across standards.
- It compounds. DISP aligns with the PSPF, the Information Security Manual and the Essential Eight, so this work feeds your wider government-work security program.
Who buys this
Australian businesses in or entering the defence supply chain, and the security officers, governance and IT leads who own DISP. Whether it is a first membership application or a level uplift, you save weeks and walk in with the four categories and evidence structured.
Common questions
Is it really editable? Yes. Word and Excel files you own and adapt. No portal, no subscription.
What are the four categories? Governance, personnel security, physical security, and information and cyber security, across entry level and levels 1 to 3. Each is built as controls.
Does it cover the Essential Eight? Yes. Meeting the Essential Eight maturity and the Information Security Manual controls is part of the information and cyber security group.
Does it align with the PSPF? Yes. The physical security zones and information handling follow the Protective Security Policy Framework, and the controls note it.
