Defence Cyber Certification (DCC)

Where Organisations Go Wrong

 DCC Level 0 and Level 1 are often underestimated.

On paper, they look straightforward.

Basic controls.
Entry-level assurance.

But when assessed:

Scope is unclear
Responsibilities are undefined
Controls are inconsistent
Evidence doesn’t align with reality
Operational practices don’t match documentation

That’s where organisations fail.

What We Do Differently

DCC Level 1 — Operational Assurance

Understanding DCC Levels

Black Kyte 17 delivers assurance-led DCC consultancy — focused on whether your controls actually work in practice.

We don’t prepare you to meet minimum expectations.

We prepare you to stand up under scrutiny.

Understanding DCC Levels

DCC Level 1 — Operational Assurance

Understanding DCC Levels

 DCC Level 0 — Foundation

Establishes the baseline of cyber security awareness and control.

Clear understanding of risks
Basic security controls in place
Defined responsibilities
Initial evidence of control application


This is your entry point — but it still gets tested

DCC Level 1 — Operational Assurance

DCC Level 1 — Operational Assurance

DCC Level 1 — Operational Assurance

Moves beyond awareness into demonstrable control implementation.

Controls are applied consistently
Responsibilities are embedded
Evidence is structured and repeatable
Operational practices align with policy


This is where weak implementations are exposed
