Elastic achieves Defence Cyber Certification Level 0 in the UK

Elastic announced that it has achieved the UK Ministry of Defence’s Defence Cyber Certification Level 0 ahead of the requirement for all defence industry partners to hold the certification by 31 December 2026. Launched in May 2025 and administered by IASME, the four-level DCC framework independently assesses suppliers against Def Stan 05-138 to strengthen cyber resilience throughout the UK defence supply chain, with Cyber Essentials certification required at every tier. Elastic’s existing Cyber Essentials Plus certification provided the verified baseline for its Level 0 assessment, which the company says demonstrates compliance with the MOD’s cyber assurance standard for procurement, contract renewal, and due-diligence purposes. The company notes that certification requires continued maintenance of security controls and states that it will evaluate higher DCC levels as MOD requirements and its role in the defence supply chain evolve.
