Nationellt cybersäkerhetscenter (NCSC-SE)

What Nationellt cybersäkerhetscenter (NCSC-SE) does

Nationellt cybersäkerhetscenter (NCSC-SE) is Sweden's National Cyber Security Centre, a government agency formally established in November 2024 as a division within Fösvarets radioanstalt (FRA), the Swedish Defence Radio Establishment, under the Ministry of Defence. Its mandate is to develop and strengthen Sweden's collective capability to prevent, detect, and manage cyber threats and IT incidents, serving government agencies, municipalities, regions, critical infrastructure operators, and the private sector. On July 1, 2026, the cyber and information security operations of Myndigheten för civilt försvar (MSB) — including CERT-SE (Sweden's national CSIRT) and NCC-SE (the national coordination center for cybersecurity research and innovation) — were consolidated into NCSC, giving it end-to-end responsibility for national incident response, NIS2 regulatory supervision, EU-CyCLONe representation, and a newly assigned government mandate to coordinate AI-related cybersecurity.

NCSC's core technology and operational stack is built around CERT-SE's 24/7 incident handling capability (telephone 010-382 80 00 and [email protected]), the Cyberportalen incident-reporting portal for NIS2 compliance, and a guidance library covering 10 recommended security measures, attack-method profiles, ransomware response playbooks, and OT/ICS security advice. It runs free training programmes (Disa, operational, tactical, and leadership courses) developed with Försvarshögskolan, MSB, and SKR, and publishes joint threat advisories with NSA and 26 international partner agencies. It also operates under the National Cybersecurity Center mandate assigned by the EU Cybersecurity Act via the European Cybersecurity Competence Center (ECCC). Premises are co-located with FRA in Drottningholm and at a protected office in Solna (Terminalvägen 14).

NCSC's business model is fully non-commercial: it is funded through the Swedish state budget as part of FRA, with all services — incident response, regulatory guidance, training, threat intelligence, and incident reporting — provided free of charge. There are no paying customers, no pricing tiers, and no revenue disclosure. The organization distributes guidance through its official website ncsc.se, LinkedIn, free webinar series ('Informationssäkerhet i fokus', 11 themes), and educational courses, and collaborates with academia (AI Sweden, IVA, FOI, RISE) and international counterparts (NSA, ENISA, EU-CyCLONe). Leadership is provided by Head of NCSC John Billow, operating under FRA Director General Björn Lyrvall.
