The Defence Industry Security Program (DISP), which is overseen by the Defence Industry Security Office (DISO), signifies that Australian businesses have undergone thorough security vetting. This membership indicates that they possess the necessary understanding and capability to fulfill their security obligations when participating in Defence projects, contracts, and tenders. In essence, DISP membership demonstrates an organisation’s commitment to maintaining the highest level of security standards in their operations.
The Security Construction and Equipment Committee (SCEC) is a standing interdepartmental committee responsible for evaluating and endorsing security equipment for use by Australian Commonwealth departments and agencies. NEXTDC's data centers have been designed and constructed in partnership with SCEC-endorsed consultants to achieve accreditation to the Australian Government Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF) and ASIO Technical Note 1/15 – Physical Security of Zones requirements, including electronic access controls enabling NEXTDC sites to be managed as high security facilities.
Under the Australian Government Protective Security Policy Framework, individuals who need access to security classified resources must hold a security clearance. The process required to obtain a security clearance is known as security vetting and is conducted by the Australian Government Security Vetting Agency. The purpose of security vetting is to determine whether an individual is suitable to hold a security clearance, that is, whether they possess and demonstrate an appropriate level of integrity. At NEXTDC, we ensure that a substantial number of vetted personnel are present across all our facilities to meet the Government's requirements.
NEXTDC facilities are 'Certified Strategic', the highest level of approved services under the Commonwealth Government’s Hosting Certification Framework. NEXTDC’s entire national data centre facilities is Certified Strategic by the DTA and thereby positioned to deliver the highest levels of security and sovereignty for Government systems and data.
