Defence Cyber Certification (DCC): How to prepare ahead of time

Defence Cyber Certification DCC How to prepare ahead of time

Defence Cyber Certification is being rolled out across the UK defence supply chain, with the Ministry of Defence introducing a formal, organisation‑wide approach to cyber assurance.

For organisations bidding for or supporting defence contracts, DCC is quickly becoming part of the conversation around supplier selection, onboarding and ongoing assurance. It provides a single certification that can be used across multiple procurements, rather than repeating checks for each contract.

This webinar looks at what that means in practice and where to focus your efforts if you are starting to prepare.

In this session:

  • How DCC is being introduced across the defence supply chain
  • How certification levels are defined and applied to contracts
  • What the assessment process involves and how it differs from previous approaches
  • The type of evidence assessors are looking for
  • Practical steps to prepare without over‑engineering your approach

We also covered questions raised by organisations already working through DCC readiness.
