Data protection, management and security specialist Adisyn Ltd (ASX: AI1) has entered into a partnership with Canberra-based group Phase, adding a strategic Australian Defence and National Security partner.
Phase provides insights to Australian businesses to enhance their security, resilience and capacity to meaningfully contribute to the capability of Australia and its allies. It achieves this through deep operational experience, a security cleared workforce and strategic connections across government, industry and academia.
This partnership is an important step towards positioning Adisyn as the premier provider of comprehensive data, technology and business development capabilities to the fast-growing defence industry supply chain
Under the terms of the agreement, Phase will become the company’s preferred provider for defence advisory services, including for the provision of services for SMEs seeking to obtain defence certifications such as the Defence Industry Security Program (DISP) membership. In addition, Adisyn will become Phase’s preferred provider of managed IT services for its client base.
Through its strategic partnership with Phase, Adisyn will commence the process of obtaining it’s own DISP accreditation for the Company. DISP membership is mandatory for entities who:
- Work on classified information or assets;
- Supply, maintain, store or transport weapons or explosive ordnance;
- Provide security services for Defence bases or facilities;
- Need to hold DISP membership as a condition of a Defence contract.
To further strengthen its capability in the Defence Industry Supply Chain sector, Adisyn will also commence the process for joining the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) Cyber Security Partnership Program. The ASD Cyber Security Partnership Program enables Australian organisations and individuals to engage with the ASD's ACSC and fellow partners, drawing on collective understanding, experience, skills and capability to lift cyber resilience across the Australian economy.
