What it checks
How it works
Defence access readiness check
Don’t lose work waiting on clearance.
Find out whether security clearances, DISP membership, cyber requirements or security governance are blocking your next Defence opportunity.
ACCESS by DECNET gives Australian Defence industry businesses a first-line view of the pathway they may need before they bid, mobilise or engage a prime.
No clearance outcome is guaranteed. This is a commercial readiness check, not a Defence or AGSVA decision.
What you get
A short set of recommendations based on your answers, covering the likely next step and whether you need a delivery partner.
Clearance and sponsorship pathway
DISP membership readiness
Cyber and ICT security requirements
Security governance and evidence management
Project timing and commercial risk
Most Defence access problems sit in one of five areas.
The issue is often not just “getting a clearance”. The real blocker may be company readiness, cyber posture, governance ownership or timing against a live opportunity.
People
Security clearances
For individuals, staff, contractors, candidates or project teams needing Baseline, NV1 or NV2 pathways.
Company
DISP membership
For businesses needing to understand DISP requirements, membership levels and readiness across the four security domains.
Governance
Security officer support
For DISP members or applicants that need help maintaining reporting, personnel security and security governance.
Cyber
ICT and Essential Eight
For firms whose Microsoft 365, cloud, MSP, Essential Eight, ISM or evidence position may not be ready.
Premises
Physical security
For businesses dealing with secure offices, storage, access control, visitor management or site-readiness issues.
Timing
Opportunity risk
For businesses facing a tender, mobilisation or prime contractor deadline where security timing could cost work.
How the check works
The aim is to diagnose the likely pathway before you spend time with the wrong provider or start the wrong process.
1
Assess your exposure
We look at projects, roles, deadlines, people affected and the requirement that triggered the issue.
2
Identify the viable pathway
Your answers are mapped against clearance, DISP, governance, cyber, physical security and market-entry pathways.
3
Connect where needed
Where a delivery partner is required, DECNET can make a controlled introduction to a suitable provider type.
