The
Defence Security Authority (DSA) has announced the release of
the revised Defence Security Manual (DSM) and its accompanying
DSM Resource CD.
The Resource CD is a new initiative, and contains a number of
useful tools such as a security practitioner’s guide, providing
a quick reference of security tasks, security forms and templates,
and a comprehensive glossary. A major change to the manual is
the inclusion of the ‘Security Policy Statement’.
This statement provides an overarching framework for security
in Defence and outlines Defence’s primary security objectives
and the reasons why Defence must achieve them. The manual has
been designed to be user-friendly and easy to read.
