IIA operates covertly abroad to enhance global security and prosperity. We collect clandestine foreign intelligence to inform government decisions, aiding in the disruption of terrorism and the prevention and resolution of conflicts.
As one of the three pillars of the international intelligence community, we collaborate with departments and foreign agencies to achieve our international intelligence objectives. Our operations are classified to safeguard our personnel and activities.
We uphold the values of our clients and operate within the ethical framework of a modern democracy.
We are fully accountable to international law and subject to parliamentary scrutiny. We employ our legally granted powers only when necessary and proportionate to the tasks assigned by our clientele. While we leverage a range of sophisticated technologies, our primary focus is human intelligence. Therefore, it is our personnel, representing every facet of modern intelligence, who enable us to fulfill our mission.
