Implementation Support
Having conducted a gap analysis against the requirements of the Defence Cyber Certification (DCC) scheme, URM can provide hands-on support with your remediation of any gaps identified. Unlike DCC certification body assessors, URM can help you develop, implement, and improve the effectiveness of the controls necessary to achieve a successful DCC outcome. This collaborative approach ensures that your organisation is not only ready for assessment but also better equipped to maintain compliance and resilience in the long term.

Why URM?
Track record
URM has a 20-year track record of providing high-quality training and consultancy services, assisting organisations to improve their information security, cyber security and risk management programmes. Whilst the DCC is a relatively new framework, URM’s can leverage its extensive experience supporting organisations’ implementation of other security frameworks that have considerable overlap with the scheme (such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), and ISO 27001) to support your DCC compliance.
Tailored solutions
We at URM appreciate that no two organisations are the same and, as such, neither will their cyber security and DCC compliance programmes. The unique requirements of your organisation, its industry, size and structure, risk appetite, products and services provided, legal and obligatory requirements, etc., will always guide our approach to supporting your compliance with the DCC. Meanwhile, we will ensure the advice we offer reflects your existing working practices, enabling you to integrate the required DCC controls into your organisation’s business-as-usual (BAU) operations as seamlessly as possible.
Knowledge transfer
With our ‘real world’ knowledge transfer philosophy, you will benefit from our large team of consultants’ extensive practical experience and knowledge of cyber security best practice, and be able to independently improve your security by virtue of what you have learned from them, without needing to rely on ongoing consultancy support.
