Your suppliers say they're ML2 compliant. Can you prove it to Defence?
As a prime contractor, your DISP obligations extend to your supply chain. Your subcontractors must meet ML2 — and Defence expects you to verify it. A supplier that loses DISP membership disrupts your projects and puts your contracts at risk. NodeZero lets you validate supply chain compliance independently.
Your specific challenges
No visibility into supplier posture
Your suppliers submit self-assessments. You have no independent way to verify whether their Essential Eight controls actually work.
A compromised supplier is your problem
Supply chain compromise is a significant and growing attack vector in Defence. A weakness in your supplier's network becomes an entry point into yours.
Defence expects you to manage this
Procurement now requires ML2 compliance evidence from supply chain partners. "They said they're compliant" is no longer an acceptable answer.
Built for your situation
Validate supplier environments independently
Deploy NodeZero across supplier networks to test their ML2 posture. Get independent evidence, not self-reported checklists.
Test your segmentation from their network
Segmentation testing proves whether a compromised supplier could reach your critical systems. Validate the boundaries that matter.
