Dual compliance for the US defence market
CMMC readiness advisory for Australian organisations selling into the US Department of Defense supply chain — integrated with your existing Essential Eight and DISP compliance.
Dual Compliance
Why CMMC feels different
Two frameworks, double the burden
You already have Australian compliance obligations. Adding CMMC feels like starting from scratch with a whole new set of requirements.
Unclear applicability
You're not sure if CMMC applies to your contracts or what level you need to achieve. The US requirements feel opaque from an Australian perspective.
Limited Australian expertise
Most CMMC consultants are US-based and don't understand how it maps to Australian frameworks like Essential Eight and DISP.

Who this service is for
AUKUS supply chain participants
You're an Australian organisation involved in AUKUS programs that require compliance with both Australian and US security frameworks.
US DoD subcontractors
You have contracts or subcontracts that flow down CMMC requirements and you need to demonstrate compliance from an Australian base.
Dual-market organisations
You sell into both Australian and US defence markets and need a single, efficient approach to meeting both sets of requirements.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need CMMC if I already have DISP?
They serve different purposes. DISP is Australian; CMMC is for US DoD contracts. If you're selling into both markets, you likely need both — but there's significant control overlap that we leverage to reduce your effort and cost.
Can you do the CMMC certification assessment?
We provide readiness advisory — helping you prepare. The formal CMMC assessment is conducted by certified C3PAOs (third-party assessment organisations). We prepare you to pass that assessment.
