JSaRC was conceived in 2016 as part of a series of initiatives aimed at assisting the government and UK security sector suppliers in working more closely together. The JSaRC was established in collaboration with the UK’s Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community (RISC), which was formed at the request of the Home Office. RISC is an alliance of trade associations, suppliers, and other organisations that represent the security and resilience sector in the United Kingdom.
JSaRC is a unit of the Homeland Security Group (HSG) within the Home Office and has three core objectives:
- Deliver a joint response to the UK’s national security challenges.
- Drive the delivery of the right solution.
- Support the growth of the security sector.
