The Institute maintains intelligence functions because its work is conducted with incomplete information, in unfamiliar environments, and alongside organizations whose interests may not be identical to those of the Institute.
Information is collected from lawful sources about people, organizations, places, systems, and events that may affect the Institute's work. Analysts distinguish direct observation from reporting, reporting from inference, and inference from speculation. Contradictory information is preserved — it is not removed simply to make a report easier to read.
The Institute monitors and analyzes signals when they are relevant to authorized research, field safety, technical security, or the investigation of an environmental anomaly.
Protects the Institute from deception, penetration, manipulation, surveillance, theft, disruption, and the unauthorized disclosure of its work.
Access control, incident reporting, travel review, records protection, communications security, and technical inspection. The Institute also holds that excessive secrecy can prevent useful review, conceal errors, and cause personnel to treat rumor as established fact.
