Industry Security Assurance Centre

The Industry Security Assurance Centre (ISAC) provides a single hub within government for industry personnel and physical security assurance for those working at Secret and above.

The Industry Security Assurance Centre (ISAC) provides a single hub within government for industry personnel and physical security assurance for those working at Secret and above.

It raises adherence to minimum security standards through a greater oversight of how security risks are identified and mitigated in industry, working with industry to put remediation measures in place where organisations are not meeting the standards required. This will provide assurance to government departments on the personnel security applied by its most sensitive supply chains, and provides greater confidence in the companies that receive UKSV vetting sponsorship rights.

In the near future, ISAC aims to pilot in smaller government departments, with expectations to expand beyond the Ministry of Defence and across government in the next three years.
