Australian artificial intelligence company Trellis Data has launched its latest innovation the DISP Assessor, an AI-powered tool designed to simplify and accelerate accreditation under the Defence Industry Security Programme (DISP). The new solution aims to help businesses of all sizes identify security gaps and significantly reduce the time, effort, and costs involved in meeting defence security requirements.
Recognizing a major challenge in the defence sector, Trellis Data developed the DISP Assessor to guide organizations that want to collaborate with Defence but are often deterred by the complex assessment process. The tool bridges the gap between current security capabilities and the standards required for DISP accreditation.

“Many companies, both at home and abroad, are eager to work with the Australian Defence Force, but the initial DISP assessment has historically been a hurdle, consuming countless hours of manual gap-analysis,” said Michael Gately, CEO of Trellis Data. “Using this one-of-a-kind AI-tool, businesses can now have a clear, risk-based view of their DISP readiness, and have an actionable path forward. The opportunity we have created could save organisations hundreds of hours, tens of thousands of dollars and accelerate their path to accreditation.”
Built on Trellis Data’s proprietary AI architecture, the DISP Assessor can read and analyze large documents, match them against accreditation criteria, and deliver comprehensive reports that help businesses make informed decisions. By leveraging its advanced natural language understanding capabilities, the platform ensures detailed, accurate, and trusted assessments tailored for the DISP framework.
“This was a natural evolution of our technology as we already had a very powerful engine designed to complete tasks just like this. By working with industry and experts and CSO’s we’ve fine-tuned our models to produce a highly detailed and accurate assessment report, specifically for the DISP process, that businesses can trust,” added Gately.
As the AUKUS alliance strengthens and Australia’s defence supply chain expands, the demand for DISP accreditation continues to grow. Reports suggest the number of firms seeking accreditation could double within the next three to five years. To address this growing need, Trellis Data’s DISP Assessor provides a scalable solution that supports businesses at every stage whether they are just exploring DISP, finalizing submissions, or advising others.

“Whether an organisation is just exploring DISP, finalising its submission, or acting as a consultant advising other companies, the DISP Assessor delivers the same clear, risk-based insights that accelerate every stage of the accreditation journey,” said Gately.
Ultimately, the launch of the DISP Assessor reinforces Trellis Data’s commitment to providing end-to-end AI tools that enhance speed, trust, and performance for high-security customers. By delivering a secure, Australian-hosted solution, Trellis Data not only ensures data sovereignty but also empowers local industries to engage confidently with national defence opportunities.
The DISP Assessor is now available to Australian businesses seeking entry-level accreditation, with future updates planned to support advanced accreditation levels, including Level 2.
