All prime contractors must have the cyber security controls specified in DEF Stan 05-138 (Cyber Security for Defence Suppliers), as appropriate to the cyber risk level specified in the contract. The Authority has determined the level of risk at Moderate as defined in DEF Stan 05-138. In order to do business with the MOD you must have the cyber security controls required as shown above.
