Your team is already using AI.
The real question is whether your organisation is managing it or just hoping it’s used responsibly.

AI tools are now part of everyday work. Staff are using them to draft emails, analyse data, write code and accelerate decision making. But without clear guardrails, they can also introduce new risks.

Think about it:

• Are employees entering sensitive information into public AI tools?
• Do you know which AI platforms are being used across your business?
• Is there guidance on what data can and cannot be shared?
• Are outputs being verified before they influence decisions?

AI is powerful, but unmanaged AI creates data leakage, compliance risks and intellectual property exposure.

Forward thinking organisations are starting to implement AI usage policies and governance frameworks to ensure teams can benefit from AI while protecting sensitive information.

The goal is not to restrict innovation.
It is to enable safe and responsible use of the technology your staff are already adopting.

If your team is using AI, and chances are they are, it might be time to ask:

“Do we have a policy for this?”

US DoD Update | Effective 10 November 2025 🚨

The U.S. Department of Defense has activated Title 48 CFR 204.75.

This means all new contracts will now include CMMC requirements.

What this means for defence suppliers

• DIB partners have 12 months to self-assess against NIST SP 800-171r2
• After this window, you must hold a formal CMMC certification to bid or stay eligible

The rollout ➡️

Until 30 Sept 2025: CMMC added to selected approved contracts
From 1 Oct 2025: CMMC included in all solicitations and contracts except COTS

Important note for Australian businesses

DISP and Essential 8 are not equivalent to CMMC.
To work with the U.S. DoD, you must meet the full NIST SP 800-171r2 standard:
✔ 14 Domains
✔ 110 Controls
✔ 320 Assessment Objects

How Secure State can support you 👇🏻

We help Australian defence and manufacturing partners understand, implement and achieve CMMC readiness with clear, practical and compliant pathways that align to the U.S. requirements.

If you work in the defence supply chain, now is the time to prepare.

It’s not all fun and games (and beers and snacks). It’s reconnecting with past clients, catching up with current clients and bolstering our capability by meeting new organisations.

Introducing Martino 👋🏻

He looks so pensive here because he is our new Head of Strategy and Operations and is mentally planning the next chapter for Secure State.

Fun fact: he actually co founded Secure State with .securestate at its inception but has returned after moving back to his home town of Adelaide from Sydney.

With experience working for big banks and large corporations as a data-driven decision maker, we are excited about how he will shape our growth.

Cyber Security Awareness Month is an annual reminder to take action to secure your devices and accounts from cyber threats.

Protecting yourself online doesn’t have to be hard.

There are simple actions that you, your family, friends and colleagues can take to improve your cyber security.

• Install all software updates to keep your devices secure
• Use a unique and strong passphrase on every account
• Always set up multi-factor authentication (MFA)

Make cyber security an everyday habit. Just like buckling your seatbelt or locking your front door, cyber safe behaviours protect your accounts and devices.

🚨CMMC LEVEL 1 UPDATE 🚨

48 CFR Part 252 is what makes CMMC contractually enforceable, embedding DFARS 252.204-7021 into orders/RFIs.

The rule’s finalisation—likely in late Q4 2025— marks the moment CMMC transitions from policy to procurement requirement.

👉Stay alert for the final rule’s publication—once it’s live, CMMC certification becomes a binding contract requirement, not optional.
