VICMelbourne
Garraan works with businesses in Melbourne and regional Victoria, on-site and remotely, from the first consult to approved membership.
We work with clients Australia-wide, across all major metropolitan cities and major regional centres, including Melbourne and Victoria. Much of a DISP engagement runs remotely, through weekly or fortnightly progress meetings.
For Entry Level a site visit is typically not required. Level 1 may require site visits for the physical security domain, and Level 2 includes a mandatory site inspection.
Government and Prime Defence contractors are seeking to strengthen the SME supply chain. That means suppliers must lift their internal processes to keep information secure, particularly when Defence contracts involve sensitive and classified material. DISP is now a requirement for many tenders from both government and Primes.
[Awaiting local details: whether Garraan has a consultant or office in Melbourne, typical availability for on-site visits in Victoria, and any local client work or industry context the business can confirm for this page.]
Understand the membership levels to work out the level your organisation needs.
Entry Level
EL
Clears to
OFFICIAL: Sensitive
Entry Level brings your organisation to modern information security standards. Approval clears you for information up to and including OFFICIAL: Sensitive. We deliver it as a fixed-price, all-inclusive package.
Level 1
L1
Clears to
PROTECTED
Level 1 expands the Entry Level scope to meet Defence's additional requirements, and clears your organisation for information up to and including PROTECTED. It also lets you sponsor personnel security clearances up to Baseline.
Level 2
L2
Clears to
SECRET
Level 2 lets your company store and handle SECRET information and take part in classified procurement. Defence sets high standards across all four domains, including third-party certification of your physical and IT systems and a mandatory site inspection.
Level 3
L3
Clears to
TOP SECRET
Level 3 grants access to TOP SECRET information and projects of the highest sensitivity. Defence sets its highest standards across all four domains. Implementation and maintenance are challenging and costly, but the commercial upside is typically significant.
Every engagement starts with a complete audit of your existing processes across the four DISP domains: governance, personnel, physical and cyber security.
We write the policies, processes and plans your organisation needs to meet Defence’s requirements for identifying, assessing and managing security risk.
Incorrect lodgement costs companies time and contracts, and can lead to a rejected application. We prepare and lodge your application and handle Defence’s questions.
DISP obliges members to keep their Chief Security Officer and Security Officer trained. We train both roles and support them as obligations come up.
DISP membership comes with ongoing obligations. Our maintenance support complements your internal team and reduces the load on senior executives.
Insider threat awareness training is part of every Entry Level engagement. We set up a program your staff complete and your SO can run.
