Defence & dual-use

The compliance system for defence startups and scaleups

ISO 9001, AQAP 2110 and information security are the price of a defence contract - and you are expected to meet them with a fraction of a prime’s staff. ComplyTrain gives a small team one system to run the quality, documents, requirements and tenders that win and keep the work.

What makes this hard

  • Compliance is the price of the contract

    Primes and NATO customers expect an ISO 9001 quality system, AQAP 2110 on defence contracts, and demonstrable information security before you can bid - let alone deliver.

  • A small team carrying a mountain of requirements

    A startup or scaleup does not have a quality department. The founder or a single quality lead carries ISO 9001, AQAP 2110, ISO 27001 and every tender response at once.

  • Audits and security questionnaires arrive without warning

    A customer’s security questionnaire or a surveillance audit lands with a short deadline, and the evidence is scattered across drives, inboxes and one person’s memory.

  • Tenders are won and lost in the fine print

    A hundred pages of requirements and buried deadlines, and a team too thin to respond to as many tenders as it should - so opportunities pass by unbid.

The frameworks this industry is held to

  • ISO 9001

    ISO 9001 quality management

    ISO 9001 is the international standard for quality management systems. ComplyTrain is structured around its clause structure, so your QMS is audit-ready by design.

  • AQAP-2110

    AQAP 2110 NATO quality assurance

    AQAP 2110 is NATO’s quality assurance requirement for design, development and production. It builds on ISO 9001, and ComplyTrain gives you the framework to manage the additional contractual requirements it adds.

  • ISO/IEC 27001

    ISO 27001 information security management

    ISO 27001 is the standard for an information security management system (ISMS). ComplyTrain gives you the framework to build, run and evidence your ISMS - the certificate stays yours to earn.

  • ISO/IEC 27018

    ISO 27018 personal data in the cloud

    ISO 27018 extends ISO 27001 to the protection of personal data in public clouds. ComplyTrain gives you the framework to manage and evidence those controls.

How ComplyTrain answers it

  • Quality Management

    The ISO 9001 / AQAP 2110 quality system a defence prime expects - without standing up a quality department to run it.

  • Requirements Management

    Contractual flow-down and the AQAP and ISO 27001 controls captured and traced to evidence, so a customer’s requirement is demonstrably met, not assumed.

  • Grants & Tenders

    AI reads the tender, extracts the requirements and deadlines, and drafts the first response - so a small team bids on more, and misses fewer.

  • Document Control

    Controlled documents, configuration and sign-off with the full revision history and audit trail a defence customer asks to see.

  • Risk Management

    Risk to contract performance and to information security, in one living register that a management review and an auditor can both read.

  • Stakeholder/Vendor Management

    Your own supply chain assessed and recorded - because in a regulated supply chain, a supplier’s gap becomes your finding.

If you need to get there and have no quality function

A standard usually arrives as a contract condition rather than a project anyone planned for, and often at a company with no quality manager. Software is half the answer. Skylen's consultants are the other half, and because they build on ComplyTrain from day one you keep a live system your team owns rather than a binder and a departed consultant.

  • Gap assessment

    A clause-by-clause read of where you stand against the standard your contract cites, turned into a prioritised plan you could act on with us or alone.

    What an assessment covers
  • Guided implementation

    Our consultants build the system with your team - procedures, document control, the records you need to keep and the review cadence - and prepare you for the certification audit.

    How an engagement works
  • Full-service quality function

    We run and maintain the quality system for you, so a small team can reach and hold a standard without hiring a quality manager.
