The '''National Protective Security Authority''' (NPSA) is the UK government's National Technical Authority for physical and personnel protective security. According to its own site and GOV.UK, NPSA is part of the [[Security Service]] (MI5). It says it has "absorbed the responsibilities of the [[Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure]], but with a broader remit", and that its mission is "Building resilience to national security threats".<ref name="NPSA">National Protective Security Authority, [https://www.npsa.gov.uk/about-npsa About NPSA] ''npsa.gov.uk'', accessed 5 November 2026.</ref><ref name="NPSAgov">GOV.UK, [https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/national-protective-security-authority National Protective Security Authority] ''GOV.UK'', accessed 5 November 2026.</ref><br />
