Designating Chief Security Officer (CSO)

Spearheading Company Security Culture

As part of your Defence Industry Security Program application the department requires the company to designed a Chief Security Officer (CSO). The CSO is required to be a senior company executive, typically with a board position or a director. The CSO’s role is direct responsibility and ownership for the company’s ongoing DISP compliance maintenance to Defence. Additionally, they are required to cultivate and promote the information security culture within the company.

DISP Co advises that designated CSOs obtain at minimum a baseline security clearance to maintain business continuity, though this may not be mandatory depending on the selected DISP Membership Level.

Designating Security Officers (SOs)

Managing Implementation, Enforcing Compliance

Another mandatory role that must be designed is the Security Officer/s (SO). The designated individual must take ownership of the company’s ongoing compliance with the DISP requirements including ongoing reporting, managing of security clearances, and reporting to Defence. The SO also reports directly to the CSO.

Our consultants collaborate directly with the company SO in developing the policies and procedures that make up the DISP Governance component.
