Defence Cyber Certification (DCC)

What does the Fig Group DCC platform actually do?

Fig Group’s platform can organise scoped DCC evidence and highlight gaps from supported data sources such as connected identity, endpoint and cloud systems. Available checks depend on the agreed integrations, permissions and data quality; a detected issue is reviewed by the applicant and assessor, not automatically certified. Confirm included Level 1 access and functionality in the Order Form.

Short answer

Fig Group’s platform can organise scoped DCC evidence and highlight gaps from supported data sources such as connected identity, endpoint and cloud systems. Available checks depend on the agreed integrations, permissions and data quality; a detected issue is reviewed by the applicant and assessor, not automatically certified. Confirm included Level 1 access and functionality in the Order Form.

Why this matters

Defence Cyber Certification (DCC) supports MOD supplier assurance at the numeric level required for a specific contract. The contracting authority assigns the Cyber Risk Profile and Risk Assessment Reference; older verbal risk bands do not determine a current level.

Check the authority’s written requirement, the scope of essential organisational services and current Cyber Essentials prerequisite. Level 0 and Level 1 use different assessment evidence. A DCC certificate does not replace the contract-specific Supplier Assurance Questionnaire. Fig Group assesses Levels 0 and 1 through its licensed certification body; a higher level needs a separately authorised body.

What to check next

  • Ask the buyer for the current numeric level, contract version and Risk Assessment Reference.
  • Map existing evidence to that level, record its date and scope, and identify gaps for independent assessment.
  • Check the published Level 0 package or request a written Level 1 scope, price and schedule before purchasing.
