Security Clearance Industrial Security Preparation Support

Ensuring Compliance with National and International Industrial Security Regulations

In today’s defense landscape, obtaining the necessary security clearances and ensuring compliance with industrial security regulations is paramount. At EBS Consulting, we provide comprehensive support for companies seeking to obtain the Hellenic National Authority Security Clearance Certificate (FSC) and comply with the National Industrial Security Regulations (EKBA/2020).

What is EKBA:

The National Industrial Security Regulation (ΕΚΒΑ), ratified by a Ministerial Decision (FEK 4071/2020), establishes the framework for the issuance of Industrial Security Certificates to private entities that handle or process National Classified Information and Materials.

The regulation's objective is to set up measures and procedures to ensure the protection of such classified information by economic operators who gain access to it.

In this context, entities wishing to participate in the certification process under ΕΚΒΑ must demonstrably develop specific procedures, policies, and capabilities. The certification process can lead to the following types of certifications:

Existence of a Security Office for the protection of National Classified Information and Materials at various security levels, including Confidential, Secret, Top Secret, and ΕΤΝΑ Top Secret.
Certified Information Communication System for the secure storage and processing of classified information at the required security level.
Electronic Security of Facilities ensuring the protection of classified materials within the installation.

Our Services Include:

Initial Assessment: A thorough evaluation of your organization’s current security practices and readiness for security clearance.
Gap Analysis: Identification of areas requiring improvement to meet the stringent requirements of security clearance.
Ongoing Support: Continuous guidance to ensure your organization remains compliant with evolving security regulations.
