Questions we hear from Perth organisations
How do you deliver services remotely from Canberra?
Most of our work — assessments, advisory, documentation review, governance support — is delivered remotely via video conferencing and collaborative tools. We schedule regular weekly or fortnightly calls, provide detailed documentation, and conduct all advisory work online. For implementation activities, complex controls requiring hands-on support, or board presentations, we arrange periodic on-site visits. This model works well for Perth clients and keeps your costs down.
Does our resources sector IT maturity help with DISP?
Absolutely. Many Perth resources companies have mature IT operations with strong network security, access controls, and documentation practices. These are a solid foundation. The shift to DISP and Essential Eight is primarily about remapping existing controls to specific frameworks and adding governance/compliance-specific controls you may not have needed in the resources sector. We help you translate what you already have into DISP language.
How long does DISP preparation take for Perth organisations?
Typical timeline is 3 to 6 months from assessment to application, depending on your starting maturity and available resources. If you already have strong Essential Eight controls (common in resources companies), timeline moves faster. We work with you on a realistic schedule and can prioritise high-impact controls to show progress quickly.
What if we're supplying HMAS Stirling directly?
Direct supply to HMAS Stirling means you're almost certainly subject to DISP requirements and may face additional security obligations depending on what you're supplying. If you're handling classified information or working with defence systems, IRAP assessment may be required. We can assess your specific situation and outline the compliance pathway — which typically includes Essential Eight ML2, DISP membership, and potentially IRAP or additional security controls.
Can you help us meet prime contractor flow-down requirements?
Yes. Prime contractors often flow down security requirements to subcontractors — typically Essential Eight, PSPF, or custom requirements. We review your prime contracts, understand what's being asked, and map your current controls to those requirements. We then build a roadmap to close gaps and prepare you for prime contractor audits or CSQs. Many Perth manufacturers face this for the first time and find our practical guidance invaluable.
