There are some agencies where, because of the work they do, you have to keep things secret. But, in most of the NIC, you can say where you work and what you do. While you will be expected to be discreet about your work and maintain the highest levels of discretion about the information you access in your role, you can talk with people you trust about your employment. Like many businesses, people who work in the NIC need to be careful with sensitive information and protect the privacy of others.
