What Urad Vlade Republike Slovenije za informacijsko varnost does

Urad Vlade Republike Slovenije za informacijsko varnost (URSIV) is the Government Office of the Republic of Slovenia for Information Security, established in 2019 as the competent national authority for information and cyber security. Operating under the Government of the Republic of Slovenia, URSIV is responsible for implementing the Information Security Act (ZInfV-1), managing incident reporting, conducting cybersecurity threat assessments, and operating the SIGOV-CERT emergency response team. The office is headquartered in Ljubljana with approximately 20 employees and is led by an Acting Director, currently Dr. Niko Gamulin, who took over from Dr. Uroš Svete in June 2026.

URSIV's core services include an incident reporting system for information security incidents and cyber threats, a self-registration portal for entities obligated under ZInfV-1, cybersecurity risk training programs for responsible persons, and national cybersecurity threat assessments. The office also led the SiQUID (Slovenian Quantum Communication Infrastructure Demonstration) project, successfully completed in June 2026, which established Slovenia's first quantum communication infrastructure. The agency partners with the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia to extend its reach and capabilities.

As a government office (vladna služba), URSIV does not generate commercial revenue. Its mandate derives from Slovenian law, and its customer base consists of government entities and public administration organizations required to comply with the Information Security Act. The agency's value proposition centers on regulatory compliance, incident response coordination, national cybersecurity strategy implementation, and the development of quantum-safe communication infrastructure.

Broad incumbents

• ENISA (European Union Agency for Cybersecurity): EU-level cybersecurity agency that supports URSIV and similar national authorities across the EU. Comparable as the supranational coordinating body whose guidance URSIV disseminates nationally.
• NCSC-UK (National Cyber Security Centre): United Kingdom's national cybersecurity authority. Comparable as a peer national cybersecurity body with broader resources and a more developed threat-intelligence and incident-response capability than URSIV.
• CISA (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency): U.S. federal lead for national cybersecurity, critical infrastructure protection, and incident response. Comparable to URSIV as a national cybersecurity coordinator and incident-reporting authority, with a much broader mandate and resources.
• CCCS (Canadian Centre for Cyber Security): Canada's national cybersecurity authority providing national threat assessment, incident response, and guidance. Comparable to URSIV's cybersecurity threat assessment and national coordination functions, though at a much larger scale.

Direct peers

• CSIRT.SK (SK-CERT / NBÚ): Slovakia's national CSIRT under the National Security Authority. Directly comparable to URSIV's SIGOV-CERT as a neighboring small-EU member-state CERT with national coordination duties.
• NUKIB (Národní úřad pro kybernetickou a informační bezpečnost): Czech Republic's national cybersecurity and information security authority. Closely comparable to URSIV given similar-sized EU member state, statutory mandate, and incident response responsibilities.
