Who we are supporting
The NATO Communication and Information Agency (NCIA) is responsible for providing secure and effective communications and information technology (IT) services to NATO's member countries and its partners. The agency was established in 2012 and is headquartered in Brussels, Belgium.

Overall, the NCIA plays a critical role in ensuring the security and effectiveness of NATO's communication and information technology capabilities.
The program
Assistance and Advisory Service (AAS)
The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCI Agency) is NATO’s principal C3 capability deliverer and CIS service provider. It provides, maintains and defends the NATO enterprise-wide information technology infrastructure to enable Allies to consult together under Article IV, and, when required, stand together in the face of attack under Article V.
To provide these critical services, in the modern evolving dynamic environment the NCI Agency needs to build and maintain high performance-engaged workforce. The NCI Agency workforce strategically consists of three major categorise's: NATO International Civilians (NIC)'s, Military (Mil), and Interim Workforce Consultants (IWC)'s. The IWCs are a critical part of the overall NCI Agency workforce and make up approximately 15 percent of the total workforce.
Role Background
The NCI Agency has been established with a view to meeting the collective requirements of some or all NATO nations in the fields of capability delivery and service provision related to Consultation, Command & Control as well as Communications, Information and Cyber Defence functions, thereby also facilitating the integration of Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, Target Acquisition functions and their associated information exchange.
As per NATO directive “Minimum Level of Communication and Information Systems Capabilities at Land Tactical Level” [MC(2019)0640], the Mission Network Operation Centre (MNOC) contains the Mission Cyber Security Operation Centre (MCSOC), which is the central mission service management and cyber security operations centre. The MCSOC provides mission-wide Cyber Defence (CD)/CIS Security visibility to the mission commander and coordinating/facilitating CD/CIS Security related reporting, incident management, coordination of incident responses, etc., for DCIS operating in exercises or actual operations.
The MCSOC is expected to be supported by staff from the NATO Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and the NATO CIS Group (NCISG). Deployed systems are connected to static primarily via SATCOM link, so dependency on this need to be carefully planned and managed. The MNOC also has a controlled interface to existing fixed systems (e.g. NATO Secret – NS).
The MCSOC has further relationships to other NATO programmes, systems, policies, processes, and procedures that need to be integrated or reflected in developing requirements as NATO enterprise strategy evolves (for example, Federated Mission Networking).
