North Reaffirms JOSCAR Accreditation: Strengthening Trust in the Defence Sector
In today’s rapidly evolving Defence, Aerospace, and Security sectors, trust, compliance and resilience are essential. North is proud to have once again achieved JOSCAR accreditation, reinforcing our position as a trusted supplier committed to quality, compliance and the standards expected across the industry.
A Trusted Supply Chain Partner
JOSCAR accreditation provides a recognised benchmark for suppliers operating in highly regulated sectors. Administered by Hellios, the Joint Supply Chain Accreditation Register helps organisations identify and assess reliable suppliers that meet key industry requirements.
For North, achieving accreditation again demonstrates our continued alignment with these standards and our commitment to delivering quality, transparency and trusted technology solutions to customers across the Defence sector.
Strengthening Cyber Resilience
Cyber security remains a core part of the JOSCAR framework and an important priority for North. Our accreditation reflects our proactive approach to cyber resilience and data protection, supported by internationally recognised standards including ISO27001.
This helps ensure our systems are secure, resilient and prepared to withstand evolving threats, providing our customers with greater confidence when working with North in high-security environments.
Demonstrating ESG Excellence
Our commitment extends beyond compliance. North continues to place environmental and social responsibility at the heart of how we operate, with our JOSCAR assessment recognising the strength of our ESG performance.
Our latest results include a score of 94.12for Environment Policy & Management, 100 for Affected Communities, and 100 for Customer Relationships. These results reflect our focus on sustainable operations, keeping people safe and building transparent, long-term customer relationships.
What This Means for Our Customers
For Defence customers, JOSCAR accreditation provides greater assurance when selecting and working with supply chain partners. It demonstrates that North is committed to meeting industry standards, operating securely and delivering with the quality and transparency expected in demanding environments.
Our continued accreditation also strengthens our visibility to key buyers and supports smoother engagement across the Defence supply chain. Combined with our focus on cyber resilience, ESG and operational resilience, it reinforces North’s role as a technology partner that customers can trust.
Looking Ahead
Achieving JOSCAR accreditation again is an important validation of the standards we set for ourselves. However, it is not the end of the journey.
We will continue to strengthen our approach to compliance, cyber security, ESG and customer service, helping Defence organisations operate with greater confidence, security and resilience.
