The NATO Digital Staff (NDS) is an integrated body composed of members from the International Military Staff (IMS) and International Staff (IS) at the heart of NATO's Digital Transformation and Cyber Defence. The staff maintains digital subject matter expertise, providing the highest quality advice, policy, and leadership to ensure the Alliance's technological edge, enable data-driven decision making and release the potential of Multi-Domain Operations.


​The NDS is responsible for the establishment, maintenance and evolution of NATO as a digital, data-driven decision-making organisation where the power and potential of interoperable digital technologies and data-centricity are fully exploited for the benefit of the Alliance. The NDS is the IMS' lead division for Cyberspace as a domain of operations. Led by the Director NDS, the Staff supports different NATO Senior Policy Committees and in particular the Military Committee (MC), the Digital Policy Committee (DPC) and the Cyber Defence Committee (CDC).​
