APC Technology Group Strengthens Commitment to Secure and Compliant Defence Solutions

In the highly regulated defence, security, and government sectors, trust, compliance, and governance are essential.

Organisations need partners who can reliably deliver secure solutions at every stage of the supply chain. APC Technology Group has recently enhanced its capabilities in these areas, demonstrating a proactive commitment to supporting defence and security organisations with secure, reliable, and fully compliant components, technologies and bespoke Secure Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIFs).

Enhancing Trust Through SC Clearance for UK Defence Programmes

SC Clearance (Security Check) is the UK's common mid-level government security vetting, required for personnel who need regular access to SECRET information or occasional access to TOP SECRET assets. SC Clearance involves checks on identity, criminal and financial history, and a detailed questionnaire with potential interviews. Typically requiring five years of UK residency, it is a rigorous process that confirms suitability for handling sensitive data across the defence, civil service, and IT sectors.

A number of APC employees have SC Clearance, contributing to our ongoing commitment to operating within the most sensitive environments in the defence and governmental sectors. This accreditation is an essential part of APC’s ability to support complex defence programmes, where access to sensitive information is often a prerequisite for collaboration.

By integrating SC Clearance into our workforce, APC reinforces its capabilities as a secure electronic components and technology solutions supplier in the UK:

• Participate in high-security projects and government contracts
• Support the Ministry of Defence and its supply chain
• Maintain strict confidentiality and data protection standards
• Provide assurance to defence equipment manufacturers and contractors that sensitive information is handled with the utmost care
• Collaborate seamlessly with aerospace and defence technology providers as a secure UK supplier of electronic components
• Further build our relationships with IT and cybersecurity companies supporting national security and critical infrastructure

A Broader Strategy of Compliance and Governance for UK Critical Infrastructure

SC Clearance is one part of a wider framework that positions APC Technology Group as a trusted partner in the UK defence and security supply chain. Our commitment to compliance is further demonstrated through other key accreditations:

Together, these accreditations illustrate APC’s holistic approach to governance, risk management, and compliance. This multi-layered strategy ensures our clients can rely on APC not just for high-quality products and services, but for secure and transparent processes across every stage of the supply chain.

Supporting UK Defence and Security Programmes Across the Supply Chain

APC Technology Group has extensive experience in delivering electronic components, test systems, RF technologies, shielded rooms, and fully integrated solutions for defence and security programmes. By combining SC Clearance capabilities with our existing technical and commercial expertise, we can support clients in multiple ways:

• Secure supply of advanced electronic components – From high-reliability semiconductors to specialised systems required in critical defence applications
• Test and measurement systems – Supplying and supporting tools essential for evaluating, validating, and maintaining complex defence technologies
• Shielded room and RF solutions – Enabling secure communications, testing, and operational environments for sensitive programmes
• End-to-end systems integration – Providing comprehensive support from components to fully integrated defence and security solutions

Our compliance-first approach ensures that every solution is delivered with security, governance, and reliability at its core, giving procurement professionals and programme managers confidence in every stage of the project lifecycle.

Why Compliance and Governance Matter

In today’s defence and security landscape, a single lapse in governance, cybersecurity, or supply-chain integrity can have severe consequences. By maintaining a robust framework of SC Clearance, JOSCAR registration, Cyber Essentials Plus, and industry engagement via ADS Group, APC Technology Group mitigates risks while offering unmatched assurance to clients.

This commitment translates directly into tangible benefits for procurement and programme teams:

• Reduced supply-chain risk – All components and systems are managed under strict compliance and security protocols
• Faster, smoother programme delivery – Minimising delays caused by verification or regulatory issues
• Enhanced confidence – Clients know that their suppliers meet the highest standards of operational integrity and security
