Business Unit Information
The Government Security Function (GSF) oversees the delivery of protective security across Government.

Our Mission is to enable the Government to protect citizens and provide vital public services by understanding and managing security risks.

We set the strategy and standards for Government Security, monitor departmental security performance, manage pan-government security incidents, support the delivery of key security capabilities and lead the Government Security Profession.

The Government Security Group (GSG) is the centre of the Security Function, based within the Cabinet Office.

GSG is transforming the Government's approach to protective security to ensure it is fit to meet the challenges of the digital age.

This role offers an exciting opportunity to work in a fast-paced, dynamic team, with a breadth of stakeholders including in other Government departments, the National Technical Authorities and the Agencies, and to contribute to delivering improved security across Government.

Equality and Diversity
GSG's culture embraces a diverse workforce: we come from all walks of life.

GSG values the fact that our different backgrounds, cultures, genders, experiences and ways of working ultimately bring us together as a more effective team.

We strive for a collegiate and inclusive working culture that means our voice at every level is heard. Each one of us has a part to play in helping the Government to keep the UK secure.

GSG also wants to do better at recognising that we have responsibilities outside of work - so that we not only work hard, but we work smart - whether that's full time, part-time or job sharing, we work flexibly.

We promote hybrid working with a combination of time spent in the office and at home, where appropriate.

GSG is committed to being an equal opportunities employer. We value and welcome diversity.

We aim to develop all our staff to enable them to make a full contribution to meeting the Department's objectives, and to fulfil their own potential on merit.

We will not tolerate harassment or other unfair discrimination on grounds of sex, marital status, race, colour, nationality, ethnic origin, disability, age, religion or sexual orientation.

We promote and support the diversity of our workforce, promote learning and development, and celebrate our successes.
