1. Purpose. With the increasing complexity and broad range of challenging security issues, the
Security Coordination Board (SCB) provides a forum for stakeholders who are accountable and
responsible for Navy security to coordinate and integrate cross-functional security issues. This
instruction designates a Navy Security Enterprise (NSE) senior executive, per reference (a), and
establishes the SCB. The SCB will be the senior-level governance body for the integration and
policy coordination of the NSE.
2. Scope and Applicability. This instruction applies to all Office of the Chief of Naval
Operations (OPNAV) and appropriate echelon 2 commands and activities. Governance is
applicable to all appropriate security-related strategies, policies, missions, and activities in the
Navy enterprise, including mission assurance, force protection, cyber security, personnel
security, and chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-explosive (CBRNE) defense.
3. Responsibilities
a. The NSE consists of a federated collection of leaders across the OPNAV staff, Navy
Installations Command, U.S. Fleet Forces Command, U.S. Pacific Fleet, and U.S. 10th Fleet.
Each has varying security mission roles, including responsibility for policy development and
execution; accountability for accomplishment of actions and activities within a security mission;
coordination; and information. The SCB is the centralized body that will provide integration and
coordination across the NSE as outlined in enclosure (1). The appropriate security roles --
Responsible, Accountable, Coordinate, and Inform -- assigned by governing instructions or
agreed upon by SCB members and distributed across the NSE are identified in the OPNAV
security role matrix in enclosure (2).
b. The Vice Director, Navy Staff (VDNS) is designated as the NSE senior executive and
will serve as the primary point of contact for external security stakeholders.
