Security Policy

Navantia Australia Pty Ltd is part of Navantia Group that is engaged in developing competitive naval programmes to serve national security. Navantia Australia considers security to be a fundamental pillar for the normal functioning and progress of the company in the naval industry, aligning with our core values.

Three priority dimensions are considered, bearing in mind the traditional risks and the new challenges that Navantia Australia strategy poses:

Physical Security: aimed at protecting Navantia Australia employees, inside and outside the country, its land and port facilities and at contributing to the normal performance of the company’s activities.
Digital Security: aimed at ensuring the normal functioning of our networks and systems, both in the field of Information Technology (IT) and in Operation Technology (OT), against malicious actions.
Information Security: Its objective is to protect official and sensitive classified information for Navantia and to ensure the regulatory compliance that affects it. It will combine elements of physical and digital security.

This security policy is based on six guiding principles:

Comprehensive approach: integration of each dimension of security by converging them towards the objectives of Navantia Australia’s strategy.
Anticipation and prevention: to redirect situations that may represent a potential risk for Navantia Australia.
Efficiency and sustainability in the use of resources: to prioritise resources and optimise their use, for which control mechanisms and results evaluation are required.
Resilience and recovery: a concept aimed at having the human and material resources in place that are needed for dealing flexibly and forcefully with unforeseen situations that could alter the normal functioning of the company or its reputation while minimising their negative consequences.
Collaboration with public and private security bodies: For Navantia Australia, as a company in the Defence sector, it is essential to establish mechanisms for collaboration and exchange of information with these bodies that strengthen our security.
Security Awareness: We need to promote a stronger security culture amongst our professionals and collaborating companies in regard to security.

In alignment with the Defence Industry Security Program (DISP) and committed adherence to the Defence Security Principles Framework (DSPF) and Protective Security Principles Framework (PSPF), Navantia Australia considers similar key dimensions including Governance Security, Physical Security, Personnel Security and ICT/Cyber Security.

Senior management demonstrate their commitment to this Policy and regularly monitor its core lines and directives to guarantee the alignment of Security at Navantia Australia. with the strategic objectives of the company in general and of all its businesses as well as the management of security incidents, always seeking to continuously improve them.
