The Four Pillars of DISP

The DISP consists of four key pillars:

Personnel Security

Involving the management and handling of security clearances, training, and access of company staff and contractors to classified information and assets held by the company.

Physical Security

Involving the security of company physical premises – be they offices, warehouses, factories or otherwise; the DISP requires particular access controls and zoning to ensure only required staff have access to classified materials, and to protect from outside actors.

Cyber Security

Involving the information security and resilience built into company networks and end-points (devices like servers, phones, laptops…). The DISP required adherence to frameworks like the Essential 8 or ISO 27001.

Governance

The governance components of the DISP is the series of procedures, plans, and documents that govern the first three pillars of the DISP.
