Defence Services Overview
The assurance world is changing. For many years, the methodology used by the UK Government to manage the risk to systems, applications, and information was the accreditation process. With a core team of experts who collectively have 230 years of experience working within the Defence industry, we are at the forefront of supporting organisations to adopt the Secure by Design (SbD) process, formally launched in 2023 to evolve the risk management process into one of continuous risk assurance for systems and applications from inception through their natural lifecycle.
Working across all areas of Defence, we do this by following principles including, but not limited to, the Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF), JSP 440, ISO 27001, and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. Any new systems or information-based capabilities must be assured using the new process.
In addition to our key SbD service, we also provide our core services including:
- Advent IM Outsourced Solutions – Contingent Security Expertise on Demand
