What it requires

What JSP-440 actually requires.

These are the obligations a regulated entity owes — the things an assessor or supervisor will ask about.

01

Government Security Classifications adherence.

02

Defence Cyber Protection Partnership (DCPP) maturity assessment.

03

Cyber Essentials Plus as a minimum for many MOD contracts.

How Safeguard maps to it

Pre-mapped controls. Continuous evidence.

Each requirement above is bound to live telemetry — not screenshots. The mapping below is what your auditor or regulator sees.

DCPP maturity self-assessment with evidence binding.

Cyber Essentials Plus continuous evidence pipeline.

Evidence we produce

Artifacts your auditor accepts.

Each evidence artifact is signed and timestamped. Auditors can verify integrity without trusting Safeguard.

Related frameworks

These frameworks share substantial control overlap with JSP-440. Customers running one assessment typically satisfy the others with the same evidence base.
