The practice

We carry the security load, so our clients can carry the contract.

Acqsus is an Australian security compliance practice focused on the Defence industry. We work with organisations pursuing or holding DISP membership, undergoing IRAP assessment, or maturing their security posture to meet Defence expectations.

The security requirements placed on Defence suppliers have risen sharply and continue to move. We exist to carry that load for our clients: to assess accurately, advise plainly, and keep organisations compliant as the bar rises.

How we work

Principles, not personalities.

Assessor-grade accuracy

We assess against the exact frameworks Defence uses, so our findings hold at submission.

Plain, board-ready communication

We write for executives and auditors, not just engineers.

Continuity

We stay with clients from first assessment through ongoing compliance.

Defence-industry focus

We work in this domain exclusively. We understand its frameworks, its timelines and its stakes.
