Because of the nature of what was done there, Office of Security files were the most closely guarded in the Agency. It is significant that Angleton-s CI/SIG group had access to these files.
Inside this large group was a small handful of Angleton-s most trusted and closed-mouthed associates, called the Special Investigations Group (SIG)
It is also significant that the Office of Security also had a file on Oswald, and was running an operation against the FPCC at the time Oswald was attaching himself that organization.
SIG is all-important in the case of the Kennedy assassination because, for whatever reason, SIG held a 201 file on Lee Oswald prior to the assassination. Angleton-s complete counterintelligence empire employed over 200 people.
The Office of Security-s primary role was to protect the CIA from harm. This involves monitoring the CIA-s own employees and assets to ensure that no one leaks data about the CIA, or betrays the CIA in any way.
