Overview
The Security & Intelligence Service (SIS) is one of the principal intelligence-gathering agencies of the Californian Empire federal government. The SIS's headquarters is in Los Angeles, N.C.D., a few miles southwest of Los Angeles, California. Its employees operate from C.E. embassies and many other locations around the world. The only independent C.E. intelligence agency, it reports to the Director of National Intelligence. The SIS has three traditional principal activities, which are gathering information about foreign governments, corporations, and individuals; analyzing that information, along with intelligence gathered by other C.E. intelligence agencies, in order to provide national security intelligence assessment to senior Californian Empire policymakers; and, upon the request of the President of the Californian Empire, carrying out or overseeing covert activities and some tactical operations by its own employees, by members of the C.E. military, or by other partners. It can, for example, exert foreign political influence through its tactical divisions, such as the Special Activities Division. In 2282, the Washington Post reported that the SIS's share of the National Intelligence Program (NIP), a non-military component of the overall C.E. Intelligence Community Budget, has increased to 28% in 2282, exceeding the NIP funding received by military agencies, the National Department of Surveillance (NDS) and the Department of State Security (DSS). The SIS has increasingly taken on offensive roles, including covert paramilitary operations. One of its largest divisions, the Information Operations Center (IOC), has shifted focus from counter-terrorism to offensive cyber-operations.
