History
When the Dark Jedi Brotherhood was still a sister organization of the Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet, the Clans were less independent in military and intelligence gathering. The Fleet deployed Imperial Army soldiers and Stormtroopers, while Imperial Security and Intelligence forces were wide-ranging and shared information when it was needed.
However with the separation of the Brotherhood from the Fleet, each Clan had to develop beyond their core military systems as they moved into both new territory and a new political arena. In response to this need, Consul Kir Taldrya Katarn formed the Taldryan Intelligence Service as a fully independent branch of the Taldryan Military, modeled after his own experiences in the Emperor's Hammer Intelligence Division.
Organization
The Taldryan Intelligence Service was modeled after the Imperial Security Bureau in that it has a rigid military command structure; and Imperial Intelligence as it's operational agents follow more lenient restrictions. While technically an independent entity, the Intelligence Service derived from the army branch of Taldryan's military, and therefore have retained a modified version of army rank structure:

The Intelligence Service is divided into two divisions, Operations (OD) and Analysis (AD). These divisions are overseen by the Executive Committee (ExCom).
Operations Division
The Operations Division is the heart of the Service. It's agents include the covert operators sent to infiltrate organizations, surveillance agents, interrogators, and inside informers. Most Operations agents will spend nearly their entire career outside of Taldryan facilities, and occasionally individual assignments can last a lifetime. The Operations Division has its own organizational structure for it's operators and administrators, as follows:
(Note: These denote the positions held by the operator, not the actual rank of the individual. For example, a “Cell Agent” may be a Captain, while his “Cell Leader” could only be a Lieutenant.)

For small scale operations, individual Agents (A) are sent out to complete assignments. These Agents are typical experienced operators who can be trusted to complete missions without support. A typical operational assignment is made up of several cells each containing numerous agents. These Cell Agents (CA's) preform the standard infiltration and surveillance assignments, and report only to their Cell Leader (CL). The Cell Leaders typically isolate themselves and spend their time collecting information from, and distributing information to, their Cell Agents. They then organize the information and send it to the Branch Coordinator (BC). Branch Coordinator's are responsible for an entire theater of operations. These could be an entire planet's operators, a large city or a single organization. The Branch Coordinators are stationed in the field, although they only come in contact with Cell Leaders. The Division Director (DD) and his Assistant Division Director (AAD) are in charge of all Operations in the division. They are not stationed in the field, their offices are in the Taldryan Headquarters building. There they coordinate all operational activities and gather incoming intelligence to be analyzed by the Analysis Division.
Analysis Division
The Analysis Division is absolutely vital; it gathers the raw intelligence coming from field agents, sorts and interprets it, and then determines how it fits into the bigger picture. The daily intelligence updates the Consul and clan military leaders receive are put together by the Analysis Division. Generally it's officers are well educated and typically specialize in specific concentrations. Analysis has its offices in the Taldryan Headquarters building, and appears more like an office than a military station. With the exception of the Division Director and his Assistant Director, it's members have no positional titles, and operate in “circles” that concentrate on specific areas of the galaxy.
Executive Committee
The Executive Committee is made up of four members who are responsible for the administration of the entire Intelligence Service.
The Training Director (TDir) is responsible for the recruitment of potential candidates, their training, and their assignment to a Division. The Division Liaison (DL) is responsible for maintenance and direct oversight of the Divisions. He works closely with the Division Directors to ensure they are on task and communicating effectively. The Executive Director (EDir) is the second in command of the Intelligence Service. He shares responsibility for all Service-wide administration with the Chief Director, and also any specific tasks assigned to him. The Chief Director (CDir) is the highest position within the Service. All responsibility falls to him, and he has the final say in every decision. The Consul relies upon the Chief to maintain the Clan's Intelligence machine. The Chief also delivers daily intelligence briefings to the Consul in person whenever possible.
