Supporting MOD Suppliers to Meet Cyber Security Requirements
Organisations working within the UK defence supply chain are expected to demonstrate appropriate cyber security controls to protect sensitive information and maintain operational resilience.
Defence Cyber Certification (DCC) provides a recognised framework for assessing cyber security maturity and assuring the Ministry of Defence and prime contractors that risks are being managed appropriately.
Cambridge Cyber Security is an accredited Defence Cyber Certification Body, authorised to assess and issue Defence Cyber Certification Level 0 and Level 1. We work with defence suppliers of all sizes, providing clear guidance, independent assessment, and proportionate certification aligned to MOD expectations.
What is Defence Cyber Certification (DCC)?
Defence Cyber Certification is designed to improve cyber security assurance across the defence supply chain. It enables suppliers to demonstrate that they have implemented appropriate controls to protect MOD data, systems, and services.
DCC supports MOD suppliers by:
- Demonstrating compliance with defence cyber security expectations
- Providing assurance to prime contractors and delivery partners
- Reducing supply chain cyber risk
- Strengthening trust and eligibility for defence contracts
It is increasingly referenced during supplier onboarding, contract reviews, and assurance activities.
