Understanding Defence Cyber Certification and CSM v4

This approach enables organisations to build on their current certifications, streamlining the path to compliance and reducing unnecessary duplication of effort.
Expert speakers will provide actionable insights on setting realistic timelines and budgets for certification, helping attendees plan effectively and protect their bid pipelines. The session is structured to deliver honest, practical guidance, empowering organisations to move forward with confidence in meeting DCC obligations.
