Manage UK Defence Cyber Certification requirements with confidence

Complyance helps defence suppliers map controls to DCC levels, automate evidence collection, and maintain certification year-round. From Level 0 through Level 3, compliance that scales with your contract portfolio.

“The support we received from the Complyance team made all the difference in getting us set up and making the software really work for us.”

Reduction in audit prep time
Organizations use Complyance integrations and AI agents to reduce manual evidence preparation and cut the time it takes to get audit-ready
Controls mapped to DCC levels

Configure controls aligned to DefStan 05-138 requirements at Level 0 through Level 3, and track evidence for each.

Automated evidence collection

Integrations pull evidence directly from your existing toolstack, so your team isn't chasing screenshots before each assessment.

Continuous compliance readiness

AI agents continuously review incoming evidence and flag gaps before your annual check-in or re-certification window.

Third-party assurance built in

DCC Level 2 and 3 require subcontractor assurance. Complyance's TPRM module manages vendor cyber requirements alongside your own.

Automate evidence collection across all DCC levels

DCC certification is evidence-based. Assessors need to see that your controls are implemented and working, not just documented on paper. Complyance integrations connect directly to the systems your team already uses, automatically collecting the logs, access records, and policy documentation your assessor will ask for.

When new evidence comes in, Complyance's Evidence Review Agent validates it against your control requirements and flags anything that doesn't meet the mark, before anyone needs to look.

Controls configured to your certification level

Not every defence supplier needs to certify to Level 3. Complyance lets you configure your control set to match the Cyber Risk Profile assigned to your contracts, whether that's the 3 controls required for Level 0 or the full 144 for Level 3. As your contract portfolio grows and risk profiles change, your program scales with it.

Workflows can be tailored to your internal governance structure, including who owns each control, what evidence is required, and how findings are escalated and remediated.
