- Ensure procurement is at the most suitable Government classification and where appropriate suppliers abide by facility security clearance assurance (facility security clearance previously called List X).
- Conduct frequent assurance to verify that security measures are being met by suppliers and remain adequate.
- Develop a culture through education and awareness whereby individuals understand that mitigating threats in industry is a collective responsibility whilst contract managers are responsible for the security of their assigned suppliers.
