SECURESUPPLY - DEFENCE SECURITY ADVISORY
Capability Statement: Security Readiness for Australia's Defence Industrial Base
Australian-owned | Defence-focused | Founder-led

WHY SECURESUPPLY EXISTS
Australia's Defence industrial base depends on capable businesses participating securely in Defence programs and supply chains. For many SMEs, the challenge isn't capability - it's knowing what obligations apply and where to start. SecureSupply turns Defence security requirements into practical, achievable actions that support growth and build trust.

THE CHALLENGE SECURESUPPLY SOLVES
Unclear security requirements cause delayed opportunities, unnecessary expenditure and reduced customer confidence. SecureSupply helps organisations establish clarity, confidence and a practical pathway to readiness.

WHY CLIENTS ENGAGE SECURESUPPLY

• Defence participation: contract, supply chain and government-facing obligations
• Practical, risk-based solutions built for growing businesses
• Focused on readiness and trust, not just paperwork
• Governance, personnel, physical, information and cyber as one program
• Senior advisers with real governance, cyber and supply-chain experience

WHO SECURESUPPLY SUPPORTS
SMEs entering Defence, established Defence suppliers, Tier 3 suppliers seeking Tier 2 work, Defence primes and industry associations.

CORE CAPABILITIES

DISP Readiness: preparing and maintaining Defence security arrangements across all four DISP domains - governance, personnel, physical, and information & cyber security.

Executive Cyber Security Advisory: helping boards and executives treat cyber security as a business issue - risk briefings, governance reviews and Essential Eight readiness.

IRAP Readiness Support: preparing organisations and ICT systems for independent assessment - scoping, control mapping and remediation planning. Formal IRAP assessments are undertaken by ASD-endorsed assessors, not SecureSupply.

FOUNDER'S PERSPECTIVE
"SecureSupply was established because capable Australian businesses were missing opportunities or making unnecessary investments due to fragmented, unclear Defence security requirements. Security should enable participation, not become a barrier." - Daryl Hartwell, Director
