about JSaRc

Our Mission: JSaRC is dedicated to mitigating security threats both domestically and internationally. We aim to foster collaboration between the public and private sectors, breaking down traditional barriers to improve mutual understanding and address evolving security challenges. 

Our Objectives

  • Deliver a joint response to the UK’s national security challenges. 
  • Drive the delivery of effective security solutions. 
  • Support the growth of the security sector. 

Our Approach: JSaRC adopts a ‘threat-agnostic’ stance, focusing on broad security outcomes rather than specific threats. We champion multi-use technologies and innovative solutions to address potential security risks facing the UK.
