The Sanctarian Intelligence Service, commonly known as the SIS, is the foreign intelligence service of Sanctaria, tasked mainly with the covert overseas collection and analysis of human intelligence in support of Sanctaria's national security. The SIS is one of three Sanctarian intelligence agencies, and the Director of the Sanctarian Intelligence Service is directly accountable to the Secretary for Homeland Security.
Established in 1976 under the purview of the Department of Foreign Affairs, the existence of the SIS was not officially acknowledged until 1988. Since 2015, the SIS has been under the auspices of the Department of Homeland Security, and is subject to public oversight by select committees in the House of Deputies and the Senate.
The stated priority roles of the SIS are counter-terrorism, counter-proliferation, providing intelligence in support of cyber security, and supporting stability overseas to disrupt terrorism and other criminal activities. The SIS works exclusively in foreign intelligence gathering; it is only permitted to carry out operations only against persons and organisations outside of the Divine Federation.
Since 2019, the SIS headquarters have been in the purpose-built Juggernaut building in Mitre Park on the east side of Sanctus, the nation's capital.
