You have a demonstrated understanding of DISP classification levels and the associated ICT, policy, and procedure obligations required at each level, from Baseline to Top Secret. Your highly developed planning and organisational skills enable you to establish priorities, allocate resources effectively, and meet deadlines consistently, whilst your strong stakeholder management expertise will ensure you build productive relationships and effectively communicate complex cyber security and Defence concepts.
