When working in certain industries like Defence, Finance, and Governments, there’s often rules that your business must adhere to in order to be considered for contacts. These compliance rules are generally more difficult to achieve the higher the sensitivity of the work being sought.
Using Australia as an example, for a business to be considered for contracts with defence, they are expected to be audited to a set of standards. Australia uses the Essential 8 as a capability maturity model and framework. Other countries have similar CMMs and frameworks. Regardless of the country, the industry, the CMMs and the frameworks, the point is always the same, meet these requirements and we’ll considering work with you. Sway from them and we may not work with you.
