RIVIAM Digital Care achieves Defence Cyber Certification Level 0
2 November 2026
RIVIAM Digital Care is pleased to announce that we have achieved Defence Cyber Certification (DCC) Level 0, further demonstrating our commitment to cyber security, organisational resilience and maintaining trusted, secure digital services for health and social care. This certification strengthens our ability to support the delivery of secure digital health and care services within the defence sector.
What is Defence Cyber Certification?
Defence Cyber Certification is a UK scheme designed to help organisations working within the defence sector demonstrate that they can protect the information they handle.
The certification is assessed against Defence Standard 05-138, which sets out cyber security requirements for suppliers working with the Ministry of Defence (MOD) and its supply chain.
Level 0 is the entry level of the certification, confirming that essential security controls are in place for work assessed as presenting very low cyber risk.
What does this mean for RIVIAM and our partners?
RIVIAM has extensive experience delivering secure digital services across health and care. Achieving DCC Level 0 means our security practices have now also been independently assessed against the expectations of the Defence sector.
This certification provides additional assurance to potential customers and partners, while opening new opportunities for RIVIAM to work with defence organisations and their supply chains.
Sam Palmer, Information Compliance & Assurance Manager at RIVIAM Digital Care, commented:
“Our NHS partners know how seriously we take security. DCC Level 0 brings that same standard to Defence, built on the ISO 27001 information security, ISO 9001 quality management and Cyber Essentials Plus foundations we already work to every day.”
Paul Targett, CEO and Co-Founder of RIVIAM Digital Care, added:
"Achieving Defence Cyber Certification Level 0 is another important step in demonstrating our commitment to supporting the UK Armed Force in health and social care. Protecting information and maintaining resilient systems are fundamental to how we operate at RIVIAM. This certification provides further independent assurance to our customers and partners that we take these responsibilities seriously."
At RIVIAM, security and quality are central to how we develop and deliver our digital services for health and social care. This latest achievement builds on our existing certifications and reinforces our commitment to maintaining high standards as we explore wider market opportunities.
