## Description

Many innovation projects are technical/digital and require careful guidance to ensure emergent technologies and processes are developed with a sufficiently balanced approach to security\. Therefore, it has been recognised that innovation projects need to have their own Subject Matter Experts \(SMEs\) in place to provide support on Digital, Security, Cyber Defence and Risk elements of project management\. Currently this specialised support cannot be internally resourced or easily scaled to support the volume and demand of UK Defence's innovation portfolio
