Norway's National Security Act gives authorities extensive powers to block foreign investments in accordance with national security interests. These interests are broadly defined and also include national financial stability and autonomy. According to Art. 10 the Act, any person who wishes to acquire a qualified ownership interest in an undertaking which is subject to the act, shall notify the ministry accordingly. In cases where the undertaking does not fall within the area of responsibility of any ministry, such notice shall be given to the National Security Authority.
A qualified ownership interest exists if the acquisition will, overall, give the acquirer, either directly or indirectly,
(i) At least one-third of the share capital, participating interests or votes in the undertaking;
(ii) The right to own at least one-third of the share capital or participating interests, or;
(iii) Significant influence over the management of the company otherwise.
The ministry will then have sixty business days to decide whether to approve or prohibit the relevant transaction. In addition, the law is not sector-specific but rather targets companies that have been brought into the scope of the law on a case-by-case basis.

In 2020, the GSBC lifted a policy that prevented Spark from using Huawei's 5G equipment due to "a significant network security risk." New Zealand network operators such as Spark and Vodafone have partnered with Nokia rather than risking a partnership with Huawei since then.
