The ±¬ÁÏÍøSMS and IASMN

                    

  ±¬ÁÏÍø Security Management System (±¬ÁÏÍøSMS) comprises more than 50 member organizations. The goal of the United Nations Security Management System is to enable the activities of ±¬ÁÏÍøSMS organizations within acceptable levels of security risk. ±¬ÁÏÍøSMS organizations are Inter-Agency Security Management Network (IASMN) de facto members, 15 of which are IASMN Steering Group members.

The ±¬ÁÏÍøSMS plays a fundamental role, not only as clients but also in guiding, supporting and being recipients of ±¬ÁÏÍøDSS¡¯ services. ±¬ÁÏÍøDSS provides leadership for the ±¬ÁÏÍøSMS. The Department works with Executive Heads, Designated Officials for security, and Security Representatives of all ±¬ÁÏÍø entities across the ±¬ÁÏÍøSMS. This critical network under the IASMN is responsible for system-wide security policy developments underpinning the work of the ±¬ÁÏÍøSMS. The IASMN holds its meeting four times a year, including two full IASMN sessions and two Steering Group sessions.
