Overview
The Defence Industry Security Program (DISP) is the Australian Department of Defence's security assurance program designed to help industry partners protect Defence personnel, information, and assets. DISP is a multi-level membership program that supports Australian organizations in understanding and meeting their security obligations when participating in Defence tenders, contracts, and projects. Underpinned by the Defence Security Principles Framework (DSPF), the program provides a structured approach to managing security risks across governance, personnel, physical, and information security domains. DISP membership gives organizations access to Defence security guidance, training, support services, and, where applicable, the ability to sponsor security clearances. The program provides assurance to Defence and other government entities that participating organizations have implemented appropriate security measures and can securely handle Defence-related work and sensitive information.
