Our mission The Department for International Trade Defence & Security Organisation (DIT DSO) helps UK defence and security companies to achieve export success.

About DIT DSO

The Defence and Security Organisation (DSO) within the Department for International Trade (DIT) helps the UK defence and security industry achieve export success.

We help industry increase exports by building relationships with overseas governments, raising awareness of UK industry capabilities, and co-ordinating HM Government support for export opportunities in established and developing markets.

DIT DSO has two Regional teams (see map overleaf). These teams are experts in their particular geographic areas and are the first point of contact for overseas customers and for UK companies. They lead on all matters relating to the export of defence and security equipment and services, and support specific industry-led overseas marketing campaigns. The teams are supported by cadres of defence and security specialists who provide first hand advice on military and security capabilities.

Working closely with the MOD, the Home Office and other government departments and agencies, DIT DSO provides the essential government-to-government dimension to company led marketing campaigns in pursuit of maintaining the UK’s strong position in the global defence and security export markets.

DIT DSO is the first point of referral for the UK regional International Trade Advisers (ITAs) if and when they are approached by UK companies wishing to understand their route to export in the defence and security fields. DIT DSO services include both in-country and functional specialists. In Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, services are delivered in co-operation with the respective national development agencies. DIT DSO also engages closely with industry bodies and trade associations across the UK to help the industry.
