Kouralian Intelligence Community

The Kouralian intelligence community is a collection of government agencies responsible for the collection, analysis, and exploitation of information in support of law enforcement, national security, military, and foreign policy objectives. They are principally staffed by directly employed personnel, however there are a number of members of Her Majesty's Adjutant Clerk Corps, the armed forces and territorial watches who serve on secondment.

Statutory Intelligence Services

There are four Statutory Intelligence Services in Kouralia that were established by primary legislation enacted by the Senate in 2017 following the indictment of the head of the Intelligence & Security Agency on charges relating to service within the Republican Tyranny. There are other organisations which operate within the Intelligence Community, however they are usually temporary 'taskforces' established by the Government for a particular responsibility.

Information & Security Executive

The wider Information & Security Executive is the smallest of the four statutory intelligence agencies and is primarily a staff to support the First & Principal officers and the business of the Central Executive for Information & Security.

The CEIS is the unified operational and professional committee responsible for inter-service liaison and cooperation as well as being the coduit both for orders from Government and for Intelligence Reporting to Government. The Central Executive consists of the First & Principal Director-General, and First & Principal Vice-Director-General of Information & Security - respectively the chairperson and their designated deputy. Also sitting on the CEIS are the Directors-General of the three Intelligence Agencies, the Coronial Security Advisor (a Special Advisor appointed by and reporting to the Captain of Justiciars), the Vys-Justiciar for Intelligence, and the Permanent Under-Secretary of Public Safety. Various other figures can be called upon to guest CEIS, including the Superintending Officers for each Service Intelligence Branch and various more junior officials within both the intelligence agencies and the Treasury Guard or Territorial Watches.

The Information & Security Executive is headed by the Executive Director of Information & Security and operates out of a single large office building in an old Palace in Kurton. The main sub-divisions of the ISE are:

• The Central Executive Support Staff, who directly support the CEIS.
• The Information & Security Vetting Service, who are responsible for carrying out vetting of all government staff to the "Developed Vetting" level, as well as all subordinate vetting level checks of Intelligence staff.
• The Central Information & Security Archive, who are responsible for managing information obtained and recorded by the Intelligence Agencies - including that which is both operationally held, and which is archived for posterity or accountability.
• The Information & Security Training Academy, who are responsible for the training of Intelligence Officers in Kouralia.

Coronial Intelligencery

The Coronial Intelligencery is responsible for the defence of the Kouralian democratic institutions from both internal and external subversive influences. It is headed by the Director-General of Intelligence. Explicitly it has no operational capability to help prevent abuse of process or corrupt activities without the oversight common to other state agencies. Where intelligence it gathers is
