Defence Masterclass: Defence Industry Security Program Fundamentals

About the event

The Defence Industry Security Program (DISP) is increasingly becoming a prerequisite for organisations seeking to engage with Defence, Defence Primes and sensitive supply chains. Yet for many businesses, understanding where to start and what is required can be challenging.

This practical half-day workshop is designed to simplify DISP and provide participants with a clear understanding of the program, its purpose and the steps required to successfully obtain and maintain membership.

Whether you are considering your first DISP application, responding to Defence procurement requirements or seeking to strengthen your organisation's security posture, this workshop will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to navigate the process.
 

Workshop Topics Include:

• The Defence Industry Security Programs role in protecting Australia's national security interests
• Determining whether DISP is relevant to your organisation and Defence opportunities
• Understanding the relationship between DISP, the Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF) and other Defence security requirements
• Preparing a successful DISP application, including practical implementation considerations
• Navigating the DISP Portal and access prerequisites
• Understanding ongoing compliance obligations and membership responsibilities
• Common application pitfalls, lessons learned and critical success factors

This workshop is facilitated by Rachel Falzon, Senior Defence industry consultant from Novel Management, with guest presenters / subject matter experts from partner networks.
