Electronic Communications Security (Pty) Ltd 

Electronic Communications Security (Pty) Ltd, generally known as COMSEC, was established in terms of Act 68 of 2002 as a private company in February 2003 to ensure that critical electronic communications of government and related organs are protected and secured. 

COMSEC’s functions include secure government communications against unauthorized access and from technical, electronic or any other related threats.  The company will, in concurrence with the National Intelligence Agency, provide verification services for electronic communications security systems, products and services used by the State. 

Research to improve products and services and training is another key function of COMSEC. 

Prior to the establishment of COMSEC, procurement and provision of this service was fragmented in government.  The establishment of the company is a move towards greater coordination, integration, alignment and maintenance of communications security.
