IT consultants for defence and security
dba consult finds freelance IT consultants for defence, the defence industry and authorities with high security requirements: IT procurement and tenders, programme management, test and acceptance, OT and cyber security. We can provide security cleared consultants, and all public bodies can buy our consultants through the SKI 02.17 framework agreement.
When new capabilities must be procured, built and put into use
The defence build-up means new procurement, new systems and many projects at the same time. Protecting critical infrastructure against drones, surveillance of large sea and air areas and cooperation in NATO place demands on IT, OT and security.
We start with the task. Which phase is the project in, what are the security clearance requirements, and who is responsible for requirements, suppliers and testing? Together we clarify the role before you meet relevant profiles.
