About National Security Coordination Secretariat
The National Security Coordination Secretariat’s mission is to build a shared picture of cross-cutting national security risks, and mobilise the multi-agency effort needed to mitigate risks.
We work to secure Singapore against risks in any domain that could compromise Singapore’s survival and success. This includes vulnerabilities to disruptions to day-to-day life, social divisions, and coercion to act against our national interest. Such risks impact multiple sectors and require multi-sector responses to effectively mitigate risks to Singapore.
