We are answerable to the Ministry of Defence and work closely with different bodies of the Spanish Administration, including law enforcement agencies. Our work is always subject to the strict scrutiny and oversight of the Government, Parliament and the Judiciary.

We strive to protect Spanish citizens against different types of threats on a daily basis. We try to keep one step ahead of the threat by gathering information and processing Intelligence in order to support authorities in their decision-making.
We believe that intelligence is the best defence of our society

“We rely on technology, but our most valuable asset is still the human factor”

Every day is different from the previous one. Our tasks are diverse and motivating. Each of us does our bit to build an insurmountable barrier against potential threats.

“We seek information wherever it is necessary and work every day to protect what matters most to you.”

It is true that the personal cost can be high and that it has not been an easy life. Truth be told, this is not a job. It is a way of living. All in all, when I look back, I would not hesitate to take those entry tests again

CNI member, Foreign Intelligence

“The Intelligence we produce is key for decision-making.”

The Operational Department values innovation, teamwork and dedication. Together, we do not only face challenges, but overcome them. The sense of collective achievement brings out the best in each person.

“We defend our way of life”

During my time at the CNI, I have had experiences that I would have not experienced anywhere else. I have met incredible people and travelled to places I would have never been to if had not been part of the Service

CNI member, Counterintelligence

“On my very first day at the Security Department, I knew it wouldn’t be a common job.”

Each day offers an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of your colleagues. Security means being on the front line of defence against threats, guaranteeing that the CNI can fulfil its mission in the safest possible environment.

CNI member, Security

“Joining the CNI was more than a job change: It meant delving into a world full of opportunities and fascinating people.”

Since the very beginning, I have learnt something new every day. It is true that this environment might be overwhelming at first and that you might even feel quite lonely. However, when you become part of the organisation, it turns out to be more than your workplace: It is a home where you can grow, learn and contribute to a field of great importance.

CNI member, Secretary of State

“We are quite aware of the fact that peace and security are not guaranteed.”

The world is becoming increasingly insecure. However, our brave colleagues are deployed in remote places, staying one step ahead of the threats to protect those who depend on us

CNI member, Counterterrorism

“There are silent threats, difficult to be perceived, that slowly erode societies.”

Among them we find hostile actors who try to collect political and economic secrets of our country. At the CNI we work to prevent it. Is it difficult? On many occasions. Does it involve sacrifice? Yes. Am I satisfied to be part of the CNI? Without a shadow of doubt. I am convinced that what we do is essential and the satisfaction of contributing to humanity cannot be described in words
