Here is the honest situation. The Defence Security Principles Framework sets how Defence people, information and assets are protected, on a principles-and-controls basis with control effectiveness levels applied by risk. It spans security governance and officers, personnel security clearances and ongoing suitability, physical security zones and accredited areas, information handling by classification and accredited ICT aligned to the Information Security Manual and Essential Eight, security in projects and contracts including foreign involvement, and incident reporting and assurance. Meeting these and evidencing them for a Defence assessment is real work, and an entity handling classified information on unaccredited systems or in unaccredited areas is exactly where entities fall short.
This Kit removes the guesswork. It is every DSPF principle 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 Security Principles Framework, with the security governance and officers, the control effectiveness levels, personnel clearances, physical security zones and accreditation, information and ICT security aligned to the Information Security Manual and Essential Eight, and the assurance and reporting duties called out. Editable Word and Excel files.
What one control looks like
This is adopting the DSPF security principles, where protection begins. All 18 are built to this depth.
Why this is not another template pack
- The evidence is the point. A control you cannot evidence is a Defence security finding. This tells you what a Defence assessor examines and where entities fall short, for every principle.
- Clearances, accreditation and cyber built in. The personnel clearances, the ICT and area accreditation and the Essential Eight cyber controls are written into the controls, the substance the DSPF requires.
- Built on a mapped compliance corpus, not one person's opinion, from a graph of thousands of controls across standards.
- It compounds. The DSPF aligns with the PSPF, the Information Security Manual, the Essential Eight and DISP, so this work feeds your wider government-security program.
Who buys this
Defence entities, contractors and partners protecting Defence people, information and assets, and the security officers, governance and IT leads who own the DSPF. Whether it is a first program or an assurance pass, you save weeks and walk in with the clearances, accreditation and controls structured.
Common questions
Is it really editable? Yes. Word and Excel files you own and adapt. No portal, no subscription.
How does it relate to DISP? The DSPF is the whole-of-Defence security framework; DISP is the industry membership program that implements the industry-facing parts. This kit covers the DSPF principles and notes DISP where relevant.
Does it cover ICT accreditation? Yes. Certifying and accrediting ICT systems that handle Defence information, aligned to the ISM, is built as a control.
Does it cover the Essential Eight? Yes. Implementing the Essential Eight at the required maturity is built as a control.
