SCEC is also responsible for the SCEC Security Zone Consultant scheme, SCEC Approved Locksmith scheme, and SCEC endorsed Courier scheme.
The equipment evaluation program and consultant, locksmith and courier schemes are managed by ASIO’s T4 Protective Security directorate.
SCEC reports to the Attorney-General’s Protective Security Policy Committee which was established by the Australian Government to develop and establish guidelines for the protection of Australian Government resources.”

SCEC Approved Locksmiths “maintain mechanical and digital combination locks fitted to SCEC approved containers (listed in the SEEPL)” (Security Equipment Evaluated Product List). The SCEC “also recommends approved locksmiths are used to install locks and associated hardware in PSPF Security Zones 4 and 5” (Protective Security Policy Framework).
