NITA, under the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Higher Education, had the overall responsibility for ICT issues concerning the public sector, citizens and businesses. Its closure follows the formation of a new coalition government on 3 October 2011. 

According to Her Majesty the Queen's Resolution of 3 October, four key ministries are tasked with assuming NITA's duties:  

• Ministry of Business and Growth - telecom and Internet regulation and frequency management 
• Ministry of Defence - matters related to the protection of critical IT infrastructure and the Governmental Computer Emergency Response Team (GovCERT) 
• Ministry of Finance - IT policy, including matters concerning digital communication with citizens and businesses 
• Ministry of the Interior and Economy - certain tasks for IT modernisation and digitisation-related issues

The ministries are set to decide on the exact division of responsibilities. Uffe Toudal, the Permanent Secretary for the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Higher Education and NITA Director General Jørgen Abild Andersen intend to meet with the permanent secretaries of the four ministries. Management and all personnel are actively engaged in the transfer of NITA's powers.
