Notice Information

Notice Title

Generic Soldier Architecture Security Chapter (FATS 5)

Notice Description

There is a requirement by DE&S STSP to undertake improvements to the Defence Standard (DEFSTAN) 23-12 Generic Soldier Architecture (GSA) including the development of guidance for data security and protocols. Standard security approaches utilise risk based assessment processes to identify the impact of data loss before determining the appropriate technical or procedural approaches to mitigate any residual risks. Due to the new/novel nature of GSA and the potential development and proliferation of integrated Man Work Power and Data (MWPD) equipment, some standard approaches to security are not considered relevant and may be abstracted too far to provide useful information into the security chapter of DEF-Stan 23-12 Generic Soldier Architecture.
