Expert Insight: Navigating Probity in High-Value Government Contracts

Why This Matters for Government-Aligned Suppliers

The release of the 2024 DISP Modernisation Roadmap and reforms to the Security of Critical Infrastructure Act (SOCI) have placed even more legal scrutiny on the conduct of third-party providers. AQMN’s new advisory aims to reduce exposure by ensuring legal obligations are clearly understood, contractually integrated, and operationally manageable.

Organisations that fail to align with these frameworks risk:
Breach of contract penalties or disqualification in tenders
Non-compliance with DISP or SOCI requirements
Reputational damage from data breach fallout
Regulatory action under privacy, information security, or public law provisions
