JOSCAR Accreditation – Supply Chain Ready

As a business our values shape our identity and underpin our unwavering commitment to excellence in servicing our clients. This goes beyond the day to day, it’s hard wired into our DNA, ensuring our clients are aware of the level of passion, dedication and professionalism that we bring to their businesses, as a trusted supplier and partner to them.

Yet as a start-up it can be a challenge standing out from the crowd. Hence, when one of our leading clients within the defence sector suggested that we participate in the registration process to join the Joint Supply Chain Accreditation Register – JOSCAR – to enable us to collaborate, we rose to the challenge, embracing the opportunity to demonstrate our business credentials and suitability as a Supply Chain Ready business and supplier of choice.

What is JOSCAR?

JOSCAR – designed for defence, aerospace, and security prime contractors, to streamline the verification process of suppliers’ “fit for business” status. It’s now a cross-sector collaborative solution that minimises the time, cost, and resources required for gathering and validating supplier information. Applicable not only to the defence and aerospace industry but various sectors, JOSCAR maintains a centralised register of common data for easy access by participating buying organisations. The accreditation mark, highly valued by major purchasers, attests that suppliers like Incursion Cyber Security have successfully undergone a comprehensive vetting process, providing tangible evidence of their commitment to excellence and their appropriate credentials.

What does qualification involve?

While it might seem straightforward, achieving JOSCAR accreditation it’s not for the faint hearted, let’s just say it’s no walk in the park. The accreditation process delves into a company’s management systems and processes, necessitating a thorough assessment across various critical areas, such as legal, finance, personnel, supply chain, insurance, health & safety, business continuity, environment, cybersecurity, import/export, data privacy and counterfeit products.

Leveraging ICS’s extensive military background, industry certifications and successful customer track record, we were able to demonstrate our established processes, and robust systems were ready and poised to seamlessly align with the meticulous pre-qualification standards demanded by JOSCAR.

What does JOSCAR Accreditation Means for ICS?

The recent JOSCAR accreditation underscores ICS’s commitment to excellence, validating our dedication to long-term client relationships and adherence to industry standards for cross-sector, supply chain collaboration. Co-Founder Lewis Lockwood expresses his delight in achieving this milestone: “Our success in obtaining another professional accreditation reaffirms the high standards and quality of our services. For potential clients utilising the JOSCAR register, this accreditation should instil confidence in choosing Incursion Cyber Security.”

Kezia – Prism Infosec

I am delighted to share our experience with ICS, a company that truly exemplifies excellence in security incident response. Their unwavering commitment to professionalism and sensitivity during a critical situation turned a crisis in to an opportunity for growth and a renewed commitment to security.

When faced with a security breach, emotions run high. ICS demonstrated remarkable empathy and understanding. They treated the team members not as mere clients but as individuals navigating a distressing event. Their compassionate approach eased our clients’ anxieties and fostered trust.

They provided concise, jargon-free updates, ensuring that stakeholders and affected parties were well-informed. Their transparency built confidence in their abilities.

In summary, ICS isn’t just a security consultancy; they are guardians of trust, protectors of digital sanctity. If you seek a team that combines technical knowhow with genuine care, look no further. I wholeheartedly endorse ICS for their exceptional service.
