What is Defence Cyber Certification?

 

Defence Cyber Certification, known as DCC, is the cyber security certification framework developed by the Ministry of Defence and IASME for organisations operating within the UK defence supply chain.

The scheme helps defence suppliers demonstrate that the correct cyber security controls are in place for the type of work they carry out and the level of risk associated with that work.

How was it achieved?  What does it mean for clients?

 

Protrona achieved DCC accreditation by meeting the requirements defined by the scheme and demonstrating the capability to support organisations through assessment and certification activity.

IASME licenses and assures DCC Certification Bodies, while Assessors must complete approved training and meet the standard’s competency requirements. Organisations working within defence supply chains face increasing scrutiny around cyber resilience, supplier assurance, and operational risk.

Working with Protrona gives organisations access to a cybersecurity partner that understands defence assurance expectations, evidence requirements, and the security challenges associated with regulated supply chains.
