As of 1 January 2016, all suppliers bidding for new MOD requirements, including the transfer of ‘MOD identifiable information’, should achieve a Cyber Essentials Scheme (CES) certificate by the contract start date. However, the DCPP Cyber Security Model (CSM), which will require some suppliers to ensure additional cyber security controls are in place ahead of contract award, is currently due to be implemented in Q2 2016. Further information is below.
