The Bureau of State Security (Granzerian: Állambiztonsági Hivatal, AbzH), commonly known as the Állabiz, was the official state security service of the Kingdom of Granzery (North Granzery). It has been described as one of the most effective and repressive intelligence and secret police agencies ever to have existed. The Headquarters of the Állabiz was in East Husegesvar, with multiple facilities throughout the city and a major complex in Erzsébetváros.

The Állabiz was founded in 1950 by the newly appointed Granzerian Regent TBA to suppress communism in Granzery and combat western espionage, particularly from agents in South Granzery. One of the Állabiz's primary objectives was spying on the Granzerian population, through a vast network of informants. During its 34 year existence the Állabiz arrested 300,000 people as political prisoners, one of its methods for ensuring the suppression of ideological opponents involved the hidden psychological destruction of dissidents. The Central Reconnaissance Unit (Központi Felderítő Egység, KFE) was the branch responsible for covert operations in foreign states, mostly South Granzery, during the Silent War this unit gained a reputation as one of the most effective intelligence agencies in Vasarden. The Állabiz also maintained contacts, and occasionally cooperated, with Western terrorists.

After the reunification of Granzery in 1984, several Állabiz officials were arrested and prosecuted by the unified Granzerian State, and records kept of citizens of Granzery were released so that they any citizen could recover their personal file.
