About the Security Section

The Naval Staff will grow in the coming years, which means that the tasks of the security section will expand accordingly.

• security vetting and additional administration
• security reporting
• conducting security briefings
• supporting the security manager with internal security checks and follow-ups

As the Naval Staff is growing, you need to be flexible and structured and prepared for change. You see the big picture and understand what needs to be done and take your own initiative.
