Cyber Security: The MOD has a duty to protect itself from Cyber threats and now we extend this to Suppliers we engage with.

All prime contractors must have the cyber security controls specified in DEF Stan 05-138 (Cyber Security for Defence Suppliers), as appropriate to the cyber risk level specified in the contract.

The Authority has determined the level of risk as High (Reference: RAR - J4VW3RZU) as defined in DEF Stan 05-138.
