The National Security Secretariat (NSS) is one of the ‘seven Agencies and Departments which form the UK Intelligence Community’.[1][2]

It supports 'the National Security Council (NSC) and the Prime Minister across all national security and international policy issues'. [3]

The 'core NSS objectives' are to:

  • Protect our people at home, in our Overseas Territories and abroad; and to protect our territory, economic security, infrastructure and way of life
  • Project our global influence reducing the likelihood of threats materialising and affecting the UK, our interests and those of our allies and partners
  • Promote our prosperity seizing opportunities, working innovatively and supporting UK industry[3]
