"Serviciul Român de Informaţii" (SRI) is the Romanian domestic intelligence service. It is considered the descendant of the former "Departamentul Securităţii Statului" (also called Securitate), of the Socialist Republic of Romania. The official decree (No. 181) that created the agency was released on March 26, 1990.

The service functions in collaboration with other branches of the country's security services, although their funds were scaled down and the secret service lost the position the Securitate had (presumably one of the world's top secret services prior to 1989).

Under the command of Director George Cristian Maior, a long term process of reform commenced implementation at the beginning of 2007. Reforms include structural changes and a redefinition of the service's role.
