Step 1: Find the three notes in the following missions (locations in the video down below)
- Brick in the wall (at 0:38)
- Echoes of a cold war (at 0:55)
- Desperate Measures (at 1:26)
first note: name (bearded lady/strong man/juggler) & travel location (city, country + date)
-> each section describes an agent
second note: travel location (city, country + date)
-> each section describes the travel locations they visited
third note: sex (male/female)
-> each section describes the gender of the agent
Step 4: Identify the three agents from the list. Simply compare their profiles with your list and select the three matching people.
Step 5: Complete the mission. After completing the achievement should pop up. Difficulty does not matter.
Note:
As mentioned in the comments by @Reqqu you can just choose and suspect any three agents and complete the mission to pop up the achievement. You only won't receive the player card for choosing the correct agents. And be aware that there might be multiple spawn locations for the note in the mission "Desperate measures" - for me it was the one shown in the video.
After completing and back in the room again you will receive a notification in the top right corner that you successfully identified all three agents and completed the challenge, what unlocks a player card for you:
Multiplayer section -> Challenges -> Campaign -> Story -> Loyal Agent -> Reward: Player Card
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My list looked like this (I am playing in german, tried to translate it for you):
bearded lady: male
Kopenhagen, Dänemark at 04.12.80 | Krakau, Polen at 04.10.80
strong man: female
Paris, Frankreich at 21.01.81 | Barcelona, Spanien at 09.01.80
juggler: male
Cambrige, England at 23.10.80 | Ost-Berlin, Deutschland at 16.09.80
Hope this helps you out getting the achievement.

Upvoted, however the intel in Desperate Measures is random. Can also be in the Records room (in the side room near the cabinet) or the War Room (on the left wall as you enter from the hall).
First attempt for me it glitched, spent an hour clearing every room in the building searching for intel. Finished the mission and replayed it and it was in one of those 3 locations straight after turning off the camera. Also, you don't need to finish the mission, after collecting the evidence I played through until the next "Saving..." then quit and went to the safehouse, intel was there for me to identify correctly in Red Circus.

One of the other locations for the "Desperate Measures" evidence is the "Data Entry" area. I found it on a desk in the same room as the computer that programs the key card.

If you have completed the campaign without doing any side mission, you can play them quickly by selecting the mission "Safehouse: Cuba briefing".
Just skip the intro cutscene and the evidence board will have the missions along with all the evidence you previously collected.

To unlock this mission, you must first gather evidence in some of the other campaign missions.
Wristwatch: In the server room during Desperate Measures.
Cassette Tape: After entering the SATCOM building in Echoes of a Cold War and just after finding the body with the crossbow bolt, you will find the tape on a desk.
Ledger: In Brick in the Wall, turn right at the top of the stairs in Franz Kraus' apartment, and enter the room directly ahead of you. The ledger is in the drawer to the right of the bed.
Once you have this evidence, you must first solve who the three aliases are in a list of suspects. These will be randomised for each playthrough. You are looking to work out which person is "Bearded Lady", "Strong Man" and "Juggler". Use the Wristwatch to determine the gender of each alias, then crossreference the dates and locations in the other two pieces of evidence with the movements of the individual suspects.
With the suspects selected, the mission can be started. Completing the mission after correctly guessing the suspects will unlock the trophy.
