Temporary Reassignment: Working from a Different MI5 Office

Temporary reassignments are authorised short-term postings at another MI5 office to support ongoing operations, training, or collaboration projects. To initiate one, agents must submit a Temporary Reassignment Request to M’s office outlining the duration, purpose, and required access level. Once approved, coordination with Travel and Logistics ensures transport, accommodation, and workspace arrangements meet agency standards.
Data compliance remains critical during reassignment. Agents must use only MI5-issued devices and connect via approved secure networks. Transferring data between offices is permitted solely through encrypted channels, and any field documentation must be stored in the host office’s secure archive. Upon completion, all access credentials revert automatically to the agent’s home office.
