The United Kingdom Intelligence Community (IC) is the set of intelligence agencies of Her Majesty's Government, under increasingly centralized control after several reorganizations, the most recent in 2009.[1] It is less complex than the United States intelligence community although still having worldwide responsibility.

Administratively placed in the Cabinet Office (UK) is the directing organization.

## Member rganizations[edit]

The community consists of three civilian Agencies, the Defence Intelligence Staff that coordinates the various military intelligence services, the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC), and the central intelligence machinery.

### Agencies[edit]

1. Secret Intelligence Service, with principal responsibility for human-source intelligence
2. Government Communications Headquarters, responsible for signals intelligence
