FSP among the first to achieve Level 2 Defence Cyber Certification
Across the defence sector, we’re seeing a clear shift. Organisations are no longer being asked if they take cyber security seriously. They’re being asked to prove it.
That’s why we’re incredibly proud to have achieved DCC Level 2 certification and to be one of the very small number of organisations able to both achieve the standard and help others become certified against it.
For defence suppliers, DCC is rapidly becoming more than a compliance exercise, it’s a competitive advantage. It required months of collaboration, evidence gathering, and commitment from teams across the business to demonstrate that our cyber security controls are operating effectively across people, processes and technology.
Competitive advantage for our clients
For defence suppliers, DCC is becoming a business enabler. Organisations that can demonstrate robust cyber security controls are better positioned to win contracts, build trust with customers, and meet the evolving expectations of the UK defence supply chain.
The reality is that many businesses know DCC is coming, but aren’t sure where to start. Others have begun the journey only to discover that the gap between their current security posture and certification requirements is larger than expected.
How we can help you
Having completed this journey ourselves and guided customers through it, we understand the challenges organisations face, where common gaps exist, and what it takes to achieve certification without creating unnecessary complexity.
Our first-hand experience strengthens our ability to support clients with practical advice, gap assessments, remediation support and certification services that build both compliance and long-term cyber resilience. Our team can provide a practical route to achieving DCC compliance and strengthening your overall cyber resilience. You can contact us at dcc@fsp.co
The organisations that act now will be the ones best positioned to compete for future defence opportunities.
A win-win outcome for FSP and our clients
We’re incredibly proud of what this achievement means for FSP, our clients, and the critical sectors we support. A huge thank you to everyone across the business who contributed to making it happen.
