Protective security and T4

'Protective security' is a combination of procedural, physical, personnel, and information security measures designed to provide government information, functions, resources, employees and clients with protection against security threats.

ASIO provides integrated protective security advice to Australian government departments, agencies and business enterprises. With the written approval of the Attorney-General, ASIO can provide such services to others, provided that a Commonwealth interest can be shown.

ASIO also has a central role in the Commonwealth's personnel security arrangements through the provision of security vetting advice.

ASIO's Protective Security Section (T4) offers the following specific services to government. In line with government policy, ASIO provides these services on a cost-recovery basis.
