SAVAK, known in Persian as سازمان اطلاعات و امنیت کشور, as well as the National Intelligence and Security Organization, was the secret police and intelligence service founded by Iran's king, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in 1957, along with the help of the United States' CIA and Israel's Mossad.

At its peak period, SAVAK had nearly 60,000 agents, although more conservative estimates placed the number of agents at around 4,000-6,000 members. The organization has been described as Iran's "most hated and feared institution", due to its practice of torturing and executing opponents of the Pahlavi regime. After the Iranian Revolution of 1979, the group was disbanded and all its directors were executed.

In one of the rifts he programmed into the Animus, Clay Kaczmarek revealed to Desmond Miles and the other Assassins that the group was formed by the Templars, in order to terrorize citizens and protect capitalist oil interests in Iran.
