The Security Service works to increase the level of security in society. We do this through advice and inspection, to safeguard national security and counteract terrorism.
Advice may be given in various forms. We have e.g. issued directions on how the legislation on protective security is to be applied. We also inspect protective security measures taken by authorities covered by this legislation. Such inspections take place either upon request by the authority concerned or on our own initiative. During an inspection visit, we discuss the authority´s needs and try to find suitable protection solutions.
Information and training are important parts of Security Service advice. We issue information material relating to various areas, and run courses for heads of protective security once or twice a year.
The Security Service is the supervisory authority for protective security issues. This means that we have to check that authorities comply with existing laws and regulations. We must also inspect their protection, to ensure that it is adequate in relation to the activities carried out.
We visit the authorities to inspect the design of their protection measures. Any flaws are pointed out during the visit, as well as in a report. If the level of protection proves unacceptable, a repeat inspection will be carried out in one to two years´ time.
