For organisations operating within the aerospace, defence and security sectors, every partner and supplier must meet the highest standards of security, compliance and reliability. That’s why we are registered with JOSCAR, the Joint Supply Chain Accreditation Register, to demonstrate our commitment to providing robust, secure and compliant solutions that meet these exacting standards.

All about JOSCAR
JOSCAR is a collaborative accreditation system used by major organisations in the aerospace, defence and security sectors. It acts as a central register of pre-qualified suppliers, streamlining the complex process of compliance and procurement by providing a trusted framework for managing the supply chain.
The system is designed to simplify how suppliers and buyers connect. By collecting, validating, and managing supplier information, JOSCAR ensures that all registered suppliers have been rigorously vetted against a common set of high standards. This creates significant advantages for everyone involved.
The benefits for buyers
For buying organisations, JOSCAR provides a trusted database of pre-qualified suppliers. This saves an immense amount of time and resources that would otherwise be spent on individual supplier evaluations and onboarding. It allows buyers to procure services with confidence, knowing that each registered supplier has already demonstrated their compliance and capability. Ultimately, it helps mitigate supply chain risks, from performance issues to non-compliance.
The benefits for suppliers
For suppliers like us, achieving JOSCAR registration simplifies the process of demonstrating our credentials. Instead of undergoing separate, repetitive qualification processes for each potential client, we complete a single, comprehensive accreditation recognised across the network. This not only improves efficiency but also provides greater access and visibility to key buyers within the aerospace, defence, and security markets.
Demonstrating security, reliability, and compliance
We have built our services on a foundation of security and resilience to meet and exceed the rigorous demands of these sectors, ensuring that we can support the most critical operations without compromise.
Unparalleled security
We protect client data and infrastructure with top-tier physical and digital security measures at our London edge and Manchester campuses. These facilities are designed to safeguard sensitive information against all threats, providing peace of mind for clients who handle classified or mission-critical infrastructure and workloads.
Resilient and robust infrastructure
Our data centres offer robust connectivity and power solutions, engineered for maximum uptime and resilience. We understand that even momentary interruptions can have serious consequences, which is why our systems are built with redundancy and reliability at their core.
Critical national infrastructure (CNI)
As an integral part of the UK’s critical national infrastructure, we hold a privileged position that guarantees operational continuity. In emergencies, our facilities are prioritised for government support in order to minimise disruption. This ensures that we can maintain uninterrupted operations for our clients, even in the most challenging circumstances.
Bespoke and flexible solutions
We recognise that one size does not fit all, especially in highly specialised sectors. We provide customised rack and cage layouts tailored to the unique infrastructure requirements of our clients. This flexibility allows us to design and implement bespoke solutions that offer optimal performance and security without forcing clients into a rigid template.
How we align with JOSCAR’s key features
The JOSCAR framework is built on several key features that promote a secure and efficient supply chain. Our services and operational ethos are perfectly aligned with these principles.
-
Supplier pre-qualification: by completing the comprehensive JOSCAR vetting process, we have proactively demonstrated our capabilities and compliance, making it easier for buyers to engage with us.
-
Compliance assurance: our registration validates our adherence to specific industry standards, including those related to cybersecurity, data protection and ethical practices. Clients can be assured that our processes meet the necessary regulatory requirements.
-
Risk management: JOSCAR provides buyers with validated information about our company, mitigating risks associated with non-compliance or performance shortfalls.
-
Efficiency and collaboration: JOSCAR reduces duplication of effort. Our single accreditation is recognised by multiple buying organisations, fostering a more efficient and collaborative procurement ecosystem.
Trusted partner for critical operations
Being registered on the JOSCAR accreditation system validates the investments we have made in our infrastructure, security protocols, and operational resilience. For our existing and future clients in these sectors, our registration offers an additional layer of assurance. For potential clients in other specialist sectors, it provides confidence that we meet the rigorous standards of aerospace, defence and security, and are therefore well placed to meet their requirements too.
