Win Defence contracts and government opportunities sooner with practical DISP (Defence Industry Security Program) uplift, ISM (Information Security Manual) alignment, and IRAP (Infosec Registered Assessors Program) assessment readiness — without disruption or unnecessary complexity.
Defence and government customers expect strong, defensible security. We deliver it in weeks — with clear controls, audit-ready evidence, and fast procurement assurance — so you can focus on delivery, not delays.
Defence and government contracts are increasingly competitive. Procurement teams now routinely require evidence of ISM alignment, DISP membership, and IRAP readiness before shortlisting suppliers.
DISP membership and ISM alignment are often mandatory for tender eligibility. IRAP gives you the strongest assurance — helping you stand out and win.
Clear, defensible evidence means faster security reviews and fewer back-and-forth requests.
Demonstrating ISM controls and IRAP readiness reduces breach risk and shows you take security seriously.
Defence and government contracts increasingly require proven security controls. DISP, ISM and IRAP demonstrate you meet those expectations — helping you win work, build trust, and reduce risk.
DISP membership and ISM alignment are often mandatory — we get you there fast so you can compete and win.
Practical controls aligned to ISM and IRAP expectations — protecting your organisation from breaches and regulatory findings.
Clear, defensible evidence reassures procurement teams and partners — opening doors and shortening sales cycles.
We help teams overcome the same concerns — unclear requirements, long assessment timelines, high costs, and fear of failing IRAP or losing contracts.
We assess your current state, map ISM controls, and give you a clear, prioritized roadmap — no guesswork.
Focused uplift and evidence preparation mean most teams achieve IRAP readiness in 10–16 weeks.
We prepare evidence packs, support assessor Q&A, and track remediation — so the process is calm and successful.
Practical, audit-ready deliverables designed to help you win Defence & government work faster — with ongoing confidence.
Evidence-based assessment against DISP/ISM/IRAP requirements, prioritized remediation plan, and quick wins.
Practical implementation of ISM-aligned controls — identity, endpoint, data, logging, and governance.
Repeatable test scripts, exports, and documentation — ready for IRAP assessors or DISP reviews.
Coordination with assessors, sample request (PBC) responses, findings tracking, and remediation to closure.
System Security Plan (SSP) inputs, risk registers, control matrices, and assessor-ready artefacts — aligned to ISM and IRAP.
Quarterly reviews, control monitoring, and evidence refresh — so you stay ready for DISP surveillance and future IRAP assessments.
Fast, focused, and built around your real risk profile — not theory.

Every IRAP engagement is backed by a live ISM control register — control ID, domain, compliance status, and the exact Microsoft 365 evidence source mapped against each ASD requirement.
ISM Control Assessment Register
DISP (Defence Industry Security Program) is the pathway to Defence contractor accreditation. ISM (Information Security Manual) is ASD's control framework for government systems. IRAP (Infosec Registered Assessors Program) is the assessment process where an ASD-authorised assessor evaluates your environment against ISM requirements. Depending on your contract type and data classification, you may need one, two, or all three.
Most organisations achieve meaningful ISM control uplift and IRAP readiness in 10–16 weeks with focused scope and prioritised remediation. DISP application timeline depends on the Department of Defence's processing queue, which is typically 4–8 weeks after submission. We prepare your submission materials as part of the engagement.
Not necessarily. For organisations already on Microsoft 365 E5 or Azure Government, the majority of ISM controls are achievable using native tooling — Defender, Intune, Entra ID, Purview. We assess what you have before recommending anything new. Buying tools before assessing the gap is one of the most common ways organisations waste budget on Defence uplift.
Yes. We coordinate with the IRAP assessor, prepare PBC (Provided by Client) evidence packs, attend assessor walkthroughs, track findings in real time, and manage remediation to closure. Our goal is to make the assessment process calm and predictable — not a scramble. We've supported multiple IRAP assessments and know what assessors look for.
ISM controls are tiered by data classification (Official, Protected, Secret). Our engagements cover Official and Protected classifications, which cover the vast majority of Defence Industry and government-adjacent work. Systems requiring Secret or higher classification have additional requirements we can advise on, though delivery at those levels involves specialist security-cleared resources beyond our standard engagement.
Yes — and this is the most efficient path for most organisations. ISM maps directly to ISO 27001 Annex A and the Essential Eight. Building a shared control set and evidence infrastructure once, then mapping it to all three frameworks, avoids rebuilding from scratch for each requirement. Combined engagements typically reduce total programme cost by 25–35%.
