Summary: The intelligence process for national security in Mexico is still subject to development. In the last two presidential terms, the variable of intelligence becomes relevant for the preparation of a risk and threat agenda. Of the different approaches that frame the intelligence work, the Sherman Kent process seems to be the one that delineates the Mexican approach, or at least it seems to be the one taken by the center of intelligence and national security (CISEN). Such an approach holds true that if the knowledge gained from intelligence work is not complete, safe, timely and applicable to a problem that is produced or about to occur, it would be useless; so the relationship or need for direction or guidance is essential: close to state policies and any state project, but with enough distance as to not lose objectivity.
