Security Commission

This article is about a former UK Government administrative body. For financial regulatory authorities dealing with securities, see Securities Commission.

The Security Commission, sometimes known as the Standing Security Commission,[1] was a UK non-departmental public body or quango established in 1964 to investigate breaches of security in the public sector. It was abolished in 2010, on the basis that government would investigate breaches of security as and when they occurred.
