About SIS
Founded in 1909, SIS (or MI6) exists to protect the UK’s people, economy and interests from overseas threats. We help other countries with whom we share values of democracy, international law and universal human rights.
SIS has officers operating all around the world. We work closely with the other UK intelligence agencies - MI5 and GCHQ, and Government departments.
We work secretly overseas to gather intelligence from people and organisations. Our work is often referred to as 'espionage' or 'spying'. It has to be done in secret to protect our staff, our agents, our technology and ultimately the UK. 'Agents' are individuals who choose to help us collect intelligence.
