Research and analysis are very important tools used in policing for intelligence purposes to understand crime and investigate criminal activity. It is a way of processing and analysing material and information presented to support decision-making. With this comes the intelligence cycle where a sequential process is undertaken to allow the information presented to be developed into intelligence. This involves the roles of the analyst, researcher, data sources, analytical techniques used, reports etc.

This guidance document helps to explain what the intelligence cycle is, the direction, collection and collation of relevant information, evaluation and analysis of the data. It goes into detail explaining the roles highlighted above as well crime theories and approaches, terms of reference, data sources, using statistics, and analytical techniques, output reports, dissemination of output report and on-going reviews.

This document is good practice guidance to Her Majesty’s Government (HMG) public service providers to describing how types of credentials supports support user authentications to HMG online services.

HMG online public services can be a high target for many sources of threats and as such may pose a significant level of risk. As a result Public service providers must be aware of the credential choices of authentication levels that relate to HMG online services. There are three high-levels of authentication:

1. Authentication demonstrates that authentication requestor possesses the credential for a legitimate account.

2. Authentication provides confidence that the credentials is being used/or with explicit consent by a legitimate account holder and might support civil proceedings.

3. Authentication provides confidence that the credentials is being used/or with explicit consent by a legitimate account holder and might support criminal proceedings.

The level of assurance assigned to an authentication credential has many factors incorporated into and is considered against the threat levels associated with the Government service provider.

Some of the factors considered are the type of credential required, the on-going management of the credential by the identity Provider (IDP), the quality and extent of monitoring and reactions by the IDP, the Information Assurance (IA) maturity of the authentication provider and much more.

National Security and economic security are dependent on each other, and if any wants to thrive, both have to thrive. The security of the nation is dependent upon a strong economy, and a strong economy is dependent upon strong security. Therefore the Defence budget is seen as critical to the government to maintain strong national security.

With the threat to the UK ever increasing, from the rise of ISIS and greater instability in the Middle East, risk of pandemics such as COVID 19, threat of Cyber attacks, the world is more dangerous and uncertain than ever before and as such investing in our security is of upmost importance.

This document sets out our National Security Strategy and how we will implement it within the UK. The UK’s priorities are to deter state-based threats, tackle terrorism, remain a world leader in cyber security and ensure we have the capability to respond rapidly to crises as they emerge. Therefore the vision can be determined as to promote a secure and prosperous United Kingdom, with global reach and influence using strategic enablers such as the Armed Forces, Security & Intelligence Agencies, Diplomatic service overseas and our Allies.
