For equipment to survive in today’s world, security must be built into its design from the very beginning.

Earlier this year, the Strategic Defence Review reemphasised the importance of security within Britain’s supply chains. This is far from a new concern for defence, with its high stakes, long equipment lifecycles, and crisis operating conditions. The Ministry of Defence considers these concerns so critical that they have previously created a new framework for defence security: Secure by Design. 

Secure by Design is a developmental framework that first promoted a completely new mindset for security in defence, and today ensures that proactive, risk-based security measures are built into every system, procedure and piece of equipment the MOD uses, at every stage of development and deployment.

However, adopting a new framework for your business, particularly one full of complex technical requirements, is far from easy. This is where we come in. Our team has years of MOD experience and can help you identify how Secure by Design can boost your business within defence.

Our support includes:

• A clear, six-step process to implement Secure by Design

• Security risk assessment and management

• Developing a security-focused culture that promotes continuous risk management

• Frameworks that prioritise continuous improvement

• Facilitating engagement to address new, emerging or improving threats

The Ministry of Defence makes it clear. Understanding the importance of security within defence is only the first step. To succeed, you must centre security in all of your work.
