Who we are

HMRC plays a crucial role in the UK economy and holds valuable taxpayer data. Successful attacks on HMRC could prevent the flow of money or the loss of citizen’s data, so it’s essential that our security team protect HMRC from security risk. Our teams take a proactive approach to defending against security incidents.

We encourage people of all backgrounds, cultures and experiences to apply. If you’re keen to protect the UK, then come and join our inclusive security community.

What we do

The government is an attractive target for a broad range of threats, from hostile states to criminals.

We need to be able to respond successfully. Our professionals play a vital role in overcoming
challenges faced every day, like preventing attempts to steal, disrupt or destroy the resources in our care. We also work with colleagues in other professions to help achieve our mission.
