THE RULES HAVE CHANGED – DISP COMPLIANCE IS NO LONGER ENOUGH

In 2025, being DISP compliant is no longer a competitive differentiator it is the baseline. The question primes are now asking is not if you are compliant, but how quickly you can prove it.

Today’s defence primes demand more than policy statements. They require clear evidence of operational security maturity. This includes integrated cyber and physical security controls, documented incident response procedures, personnel vetting, live risk registers, and automated compliance reporting. If your business cannot demonstrate this in real-time, you risk being excluded from major contracts and critical supply chains.

Empire Protection was purpose-built to meet this new standard.

We specialise in helping Australian SMEs achieve and sustain DISP and ISO 18788 readiness—without the cost or complexity of hiring a full-time security team. Through our Security-as-a-Service model, we deliver:

• DISP onboarding, documentation, and audit preparation
• ISO 18788-aligned GRC frameworks
• Live compliance dashboards powered by ReadiNow
• Embedded virtual security officers
• AI-driven workflows that handle evidence gathering, incident logging, and reporting

We integrate directly into your organisation’s leadership structure, acting as both advisor and enabler. Whether you’re tendering for a new opportunity, responding to a prime contractor requirement, or simply shoring up your security governance, we deliver a complete, audit ready compliance stack.

Defence primes cannot afford risk and neither can you.

With Empire Protection, you can demonstrate maturity, mitigate exposure, and present yourself as a trusted, capable partner in Australia’s evolving defence ecosystem.

We do not sell templates. We deliver certainty.

With Empire Protection, you don’t just meet DISP requirements you exceed them.
