The hidden cost of supplier collaboration in defence manufacturing

Manufacturers supporting defence programmes rarely operate in isolation. Even where a company owns the core engineering capability, delivery depends on a wider network of suppliers, subcontractors, specialist manufacturers, testing partners, customers, and programme stakeholders. Drawings, specifications, work instructions, quality records, engineering changes and technical queries all need to move between those parties throughout the lifecycle…

Cyber Assurance in UK Defence Procurement

For suppliers looking to work with UK Defence, cyber security is no longer a background technical concern, rather, an increasingly part of supplier readiness, procurement confidence and contract delivery. That does not mean every opportunity carries the same requirement, or that every supplier will be assessed in the same way. MOD procurements vary widely, from…

Applying Generative AI Securely in Regulated Environments

Not too long ago, many organisations could comfortably treat Generative AI as something experimental. Interesting, potentially useful, but still distant from day-to-day operations. That, however, has changed remarkably quickly. AI tools are now rapidly finding their way into regular routine work across defence, government, critical infrastructure, and other highly regulated sectors. Staff are using them…

Sharing Sensitive Files Securely

The way sensitive files travel through organisations rarely attracts much attention until something goes wrong. Most exposure isn’t the result of a deliberate attack or a dramatic failure rather, it’s the accumulated result of working habits that feel unremarkable in the moment. An attachment sent for convenience, a sharing link left active after the project…

Identity and Access Management

Access to systems and information naturally accumulates over time. Employees move between roles, suppliers are onboarded for projects, permissions are extended to meet operational requirements and not revisited. Each individual decision is usually reasonable in context, the difficulty is that the cumulative result, across an organisation and over time, is often an access environment that…

Why Secure Collaboration Matters in Regulated Environments

Organisations operating within defence, government and other regulated sectors face a difficult balancing act. Teams need to collaborate quickly across suppliers, departments and external partners, while maintaining control over sensitive information, user access and assurance obligations. For many organisations, the challenge is no longer simply securing infrastructure. It is enabling people to work together effectively…

AI Cyber Security Two Years On

Two years ago, the conversation around AI was largely hypothetical. Today, organisations are dealing with its operational reality, and the security picture has changed considerably as a result. That is where the cyber security conversation has become significantly more serious. One of the biggest shifts introduced by Generative AI is not simply automation, but a…

Governance and Control in Microsoft Teams Environments

Microsoft Teams environments usually grow faster than governance around them. That is not really a criticism so much as a reflection of how these platforms are adopted in practice. A tool introduced to improve communication quickly becomes the place where files are stored, meetings are held, suppliers are invited in, and projects are coordinated. The…

The SME reality and what CSMv4 means if you have no dedicated security team

Most guidance written about CSMv4 is pitched at a fairly abstract level. It explains the framework architecture, the four risk profiles, the evidence requirements, and the link to DCC. All of that is accurate and useful. What it often does not describe is what the process looks and feels like for a specialist SME with…

Data Handling and Sharing

Data is handled constantly, often without much conscious thought. Files sent by email, documents saved to shared drives, information passed on in a conversation or a screenshot. Most of the time this happens without consequence. But the habits formed around routine data handling determine what happens when something goes wrong, or when data ends up…

Recognising and Responding to a Security Incident

Security incidents happen. They happen to organisations with mature security programmes, experienced teams, and robust controls. The measure of a security posture is not only how well it prevents incidents but how effectively it responds when prevention falls short. Knowing what to do in the first moments after something goes wrong matters. Delayed or poorly…

When version control slips on MOD construction projects

Drawings standing still on construction projects is a very rare thing indeed. They move through constant cycles of issue, review, mark-up, and revision. On MOD programmes, that process involves multiple contractors and subcontractors, often working across different systems and environments, each with their own document practices and pace of delivery. Version control is straightforward in…

Account Security and Recovery

Most security guidance focuses on protecting accounts from being accessed by others. Less attention is placed upon what happens when you lose access yourself or when an attacker uses your own account recovery process against you. Account lockout is a more common experience than many people expect, and the recovery process, when not set up…
