Professionals who build a culture of security together.

Why we exist

HUMS is a voluntary professional organisation whose philosophy is defined by independence, a non-partisan and non-governmental character, non-profit activity and professional solidarity.

The association was founded on 19 March 2007 in Zagreb. It brings together people who professionally manage security processes in the public and private sectors.

We believe there is no division of interests between the state and the societal sector in delivering security. Security is a shared responsibility.

Independence
A non-partisan, non-governmental character that guarantees objectivity.
Professional solidarity
A network of professionals who grow together.
International cooperation
Partnership with SEECSA and regional networks.
