From December 2026, defence suppliers are expected to hold Defence Cyber Certification to meet MOD cyber assurance requirements. Whether you're responding to a new tender or preparing for future requirements, Valantus helps you achieve DCC certification quickly, simply and with confidence.
Defence Cyber Certification Explained
If your organisation works within the defence supply chain, you may be asked to demonstrate that you have appropriate cyber security controls in place. Defence Cyber Certification (DCC) provides a clear framework for assessing and improving your organisation’s cyber security posture.
At Valantus, we help businesses navigate the DCC process with confidence. We explain the requirements in plain English, identify what is needed for your chosen certification level, and guide you through every stage of the journey.
Whether you are pursuing DCC Level 0 certification or DCC Level 1 certification, our experienced team will work closely with you to ensure you understand the requirements, address any gaps, and achieve certification as efficiently as possible.
No confusing terminology. No unnecessary complexity. Just practical, expert support to help you meet defence industry requirements and demonstrate your commitment to cyber security.
The MOD has mandated that all defence supply chain organisations achieve at least DCC Level 0 by 31 December 2026.
