United Kingdom Security Vetting (UKSV) is at the heart of national security for
the United Kingdom.
The organisation launched on 1 January 2017 following the requirement in the
2015 Strategic Defence and Security Review to establish a single provider of
government National Security Vetting Services.
It brought together the well respected vetting organisations of the Defence
Business Services National Security Vetting, and Foreign and Commonwealth
Services National Security Vetting.
On 1 April 2020, UKSV transitioned into the Cabinet Office to be at the centre
of UK security by joining the Government Security Group (GSG).
UKSV has a mandate to establish a single vetting database, portable vetting and
standardised pricing across government. UKSV aims to operate as a highly
efficient and customer focused organisation.
