Introduction:

The NHQC3S supports the Military Committee as the governance authority for NATO Cryptography, the C3 Board in its Cryptographic Technical Governance, the BiSCs, the NATO Agencies and several technical fora for the cryptographic Management functions.

Furthermore, the recent foundation of the OCIO and its progressively deeper commitment in the NATO Cryptography ecosystem requires even more frequent interaction and need for mutual support.

In the actual context of momentous structural changes in the NATO Cryptography ecosystem, which is struggling to react and adapt to the fast advent of new technologies and threats, the NHQC3S is called to an effort not sustainable with the single resource is currently appointed for this scope.

To support this effort, NHQC3S requires services that will leverage in-depth knowledge of the NATO environment (International Staff, International Military Staff and NATO Command Structure), a deep understanding of NATO committees (inter alia the C3 Board and the Military Committee, Investment Committee), working groups and technical authoring teams and how they work and interact.
