Incorporated on 11 July 2002, it is part of the Intelligent (UK Holdings) Limited group of companies that investigates and provides counter espionage services.

[2] Alex Bomberg, a former aide to the Royal Family of the United Kingdom, founded the firm in 2002[3] and as of 2012[update] served as the CEO.

In August 2003, International Intelligence forces rescued six British lawyers from a hostile crowd in Baghdad, extracting them to a neutral hotel, in a pro bono action despite those solicitors not being clients of the firm.

[12] In November 2004, the company appeared on the National Geographic Channel, which showed their work in discovering and weeding out hidden recording devices used in corporate espionage.

International Intelligence and Bomberg have been interviewed by the press when international espionage is involved in current events, including the swapping of spies between countries[citation needed] and national security practices during global events, including the Wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton in 2011.
