Security Technology Centre CETSE - CETSE

The information system Schengen second generation, SIS II, replaced the SIS I in April 2013, and is an information system on a large scale with descriptions of people and objects.

Agents of border controls, customs officers, police forces and the competent authorities for the issuance of visas for the whole area Schengen may use it to ensure a high degree of safety.

SIRENE Offices departments are composed of translators, lawyers and operational staff, that allow police collaboration between different countries Schengen Area. The Office SIRENE Spain fits into the organizational structure of the national police.

For the development of their functions require a technical infrastructure consisting of hardware and software: Database servers, server FAX and email and PC ’ s, in addition to a management application forms, email, police cooperation, etc. (application SIRENE).

The requirement that the responsibility of custody and administration of the national part of the SIS II claims raises the need to ensure that the risks to which is subject information security are known, assumed, managed and minimized by the Spanish National Authority (secretariat of state of security).

The goal of the project is to develop a Plan of information security SIS II, encompassing in its scope to systems SIRENE II and BDSN, directly linked and related to the first.

The system will be electronically the time and place of entry and exit of third-country nationals admitted for a short stay in the territory of the member states, and to calculate the duration of their stay authorized.

This will optimize space management Schengen towards a strong protection.

ETIAS is a system for authorization and information prior to travel for travelers from third countries exempted from visa. Its main function is to verify if a national of a third country without a visa meet the entry requirements before travelling to the area Schengen.

The information submitted through an online request before your arrival to borders, allows the evaluation prior to travel of the risks of irregular migration, security or risk controls of public health. This will be processed automatically each application against the databases of UE relevant, and a watch list ETIAS dedicated.

The system captures identity data of passengers travelling to Spain from outside of space Schengen by air or sea. With such data a study was carried out crossed against the different databases of points we have at their disposal the FFCCSE (BDSN and SIS), to detect possible positives of passengers with outstanding points.

This information is sent in real time to control agents of borders to executing conduct associated to the detention and, if applicable, the person in question.

Consists of a system that allows the data collection and analysis PNR, to support the fight against terrorism and organised crime across borders.

Data from PNR consist of information in multiple formats (structured, semi-estructurada, informal, etc.) and contains several different types of information, such as dates and your travel itinerary, contact details, travel agency in which the flight was booked, baggage information, etc.

The system allows border crossing autonomously by the traveller, through the automated testing your travel documents (passport or electronic DNI) and the fingerprint and facial biometrics to check that the bearer corresponds to the reflected in the document.

It is currently deployed in 9 locations of the national territory: 7 airports, a port and a roadblock terrestrial.

Aim to provide an infrastructure that will receive, visualize and analyse different types of information (audio/video/data) from the different points of border control, with the aim of facilitating the national police decision making in this area.

They are currently operational centres 3: National focal point of Border Posts (CEFRONT) and its Backup centre (both in Madrid) and the focal point of Border Posts – Area Close (Algeciras).
