Manufactured by Global Defence Solutions (GDS) at the company’s Nowra facility, the GDS Zone 4-certified deployed facility is housed in a 10-foot secure container and provides a cost-effective and portable method of protecting and securely processing electronic classified information.
GDS general manager Jeromy Bendall said, “This product showcases our commitment to delivering reliable, value-for-money solutions while ensuring absolute compliance with defence standards. Manufacturing and designing this sovereign Zone 4-certified deployable secure container locally supports Australia’s self-reliance and pedigree in defence manufacturing in the increasingly important field of cyber security.”
The deployable secure container is designed to enhance the ADF’s suite of deployable capabilities, featuring advanced air conditioning systems, sophisticated noise attenuation technologies, and stringent security measures.
GDS’ success represents a culmination of extensive collaboration between GDS and defence stakeholders to ensure alignment with the precise needs of the end users and builds on more than two decades of experience in the industry. GDS has consistently prioritised understanding and delivering on client requirements, positioning itself as a trusted partner in defence solutions.
The company’s deployable secure container meets all Zone 4 standards, ensuring controlled access to sensitive information. The certification and oversight processes involved close collaboration with the Department of Defence’s Directorate of Security Assurance (DoSA), highlighting the rigorous standards achieved by GDS.
Bendall added, “It provides the ADF with a deployable, secure facility, offering a level of security and functionality needed in locations where such facilities were previously unavailable. Our GDS manufactured containers allow for the secure handling and exchange of classified data in diverse environments, greatly enhancing operational flexibility and security.”
