As a member of the program, Green Light says it is now able to clear its technology services teams up to NV1 level—one more step to offer the best security cleared IT services in Australia.
Defence Industry Security Program (DISP) clearances require background assessments of individuals, security training and certification, and include physical and virtual security accreditations, standards and governance.
Like the rest of the world, the Australian IT market is suffering from a dramatic IT skills shortage, particularly for security cleared individuals. This accreditation allows Green Light to boost its security cleared personnel pool in a time of peak demand, Green Light says.

“Demand for federal government cleared IT resources has never been higher in Australia. While Canberra is the major growth market for our NV1 security cleared IT capability, we are also fulfilling demand in South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, and Western Australia,” comments Green Light CEO Gary Hinksman.
“Our growing security-cleared teams are solving business problems from network capacity issues, to compliance, to national technology refreshes, to the nuances of work from home and bring your own device,” adds Hinksman.
Over the past 14 years, Green Light has expanded from Sydney into Canberra, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane, Auckland, Singapore, and Hong Kong, and deploys more than 1,000 technologists every year on major IT projects.
