To complete this achievement you need to either be in the end game crisis it be the galactic emeperor.
Usually on the espionage screen for any player there are 9 opperations which is easy enough to do with time. It is very important to keep aquiring assets in order to increase sucess chance and save some time. I have foind the sabotage starbase to be most tricky to get to work, but with enough attempts it will.
There are, at least, 2 other operations you can unlock in order to get to the 10 operations you need. The 1st is unlocked by the end game crisis, where you set a crisis beacon for anothers capitol. This is science bases and very hard, so I try to find a people with very weak encription so it reduces the level.
The other operation comes as the emperor. This stops the nation from using envoys to destablise the regime. I believe this is diplo based for your assets.
The achievement will most lilely pop after you get one of these 2 as have to be late game.
