Data Compliance Group Ltd, get many companies asking us how they can become a List X company. The answer is always the same – it is not something that you can just do; you must have a contract, usually with the MOD, that requires you to hold sensitive government assets on your own premises. However, there are a few things you can do to prepare if you think a contract may be forthcoming. We can assist this complex process with subject matter experts directly to your company.
We aim to give you succinct experienced advise about some pragmatic steps you can take to get you up and running as a List X company much quicker.
You should note that government Departments and Agencies must not give preference to existing List X contractors over non-List X companies. Investing in List X security requirements before a contract is awarded is entirely at your own risk.
