NSPM-33 asks for a program.
SYSWERX runs it.
Every element the rule names, on one platform.
Documented rules
Every finding comes from a fixed, documented rule, not a model's guess.
Same answer
Same facts, same lists, same engine: the same result, every time.
Every point cited
To the paper or record behind it, and the government list that names the entity.
Signed off
Every case closes with a written rationale, its approvals, and an audit trail.
No black box. SYSWERX scores with fixed, documented rules, cites every point to its source, and turns every flag into a documented decision.
Most tools stop at the flag. That's where your office's work starts.
SYSWERX is research security screening and case management software for universities. It screens researchers against government lists with rules you can read, cites every finding to its source, and carries each case through findings, requests and sign-off to a decision your office can defend.
A cited record, with its priority explained.
- One researcher or a whole roster, by ORCID iD or by name, becomes a cited record in minutes.
- Every finding traces to a paper or record, and to the government list behind it.
- Priority follows the 2026 DoW decision matrix, and the record names the finding that set it.
See exactly how they reach each listed entity.
- Directly, through a parent organization, a co-author, a funder, a grant partner, or two hops out.
- Ties that count are kept apart from context, and you can see which is which.
- The Network Analyzer maps the whole collaboration graph, grouped by institution.
Case management built for research security.
- Settle every finding: disclosed, not disclosed, not the subject, resolved, or no concern, with a note and a name.
- Requests to the researcher; referrals to Export Control, counsel, Sponsored Programs, COI or Research Integrity, with due dates.
- Closing takes a written rationale, and a second Lead's approval if your policy calls for it.
A case file that proves itself.
- Every change is recorded in a tamper evident chain your team can verify with one click.
- Restricted, need-to-know cases for sensitive reviews.
- A confidential case file: findings, referrals, the decision and its rationale, and signature blocks.
The funding and disclosure checks a CV never shows.
A CV lists appointments; it rarely lists who paid for the work. SYSWERX reads the funders acknowledged on a researcher's papers and checks them, line by line, against the Current and Pending (Other) Support the researcher submitted, so omissions surface before a sponsor finds them.
Who funded the work, and did they say so?
Every funder acknowledged on the researcher's papers, checked against what they report. Foreign state funders, talent programs, and funders that are themselves listed entities are called out. Talent program screening →
Does the disclosure match the public record?
Load the Current & Pending (Other) Support and Biographical Sketch. Every item from the screening is checked line by line, and omissions tied to listed entities come first. Read in your browser; a copy is kept for your team unless you untick “Keep copies”.
DoW decision matrix
Every record read against the four factors of the 2026 matrix, over its five-year window. Explained →
US patents
Filings matched and corroborated, including who filed first where.
Evidence archive
Archived copies of the sources behind a record, as they appeared.
Monitoring
The roster screened again on a schedule set by risk; alerts name the new tie.
Grant networks
Partners behind acknowledged awards, checked against government lists. Context only.
No ORCID needed
Researchers who never registered, screened from their publication record.
Case management and foreign travel, in the same place.
A flag is where the work starts. SYSWERX keeps the case that follows, and the foreign travel program NSPM-33 asks for, in one auditable record.
From triage to sign-off.
Flagged researchers land in a triage queue. Each finding is settled with a status, a note and a name; requests and referrals carry due dates; closing takes a written rationale and, when policy asks, a second Lead. Every change is chained and verifiable. How case management works →
From disclosure to debrief.
Travelers disclose by secure link, with no account to set up. Every briefing carries today's State Department advisory, every trip sits on one register, and a debrief that raises a concern goes to the researcher's case in one click. How foreign travel security works →
Know who you buy from, before you buy.
Section 889, Section 1260H and the BIOSECURE Act all reach the companies you buy from. SYSWERX checks your suppliers against the government lists your contracts care about, and keeps the record.
Is it on the Section 1286 list?
Type an institution, or paste up to 300, and check them against the Department of War's current list, as the Department prints it. It runs in your browser; nothing you type is sent anywhere. A “no match” is not a clearance.
Institutions by country on the FY25 list, with the six named talent programs in Table 2. The Department publishes the list itself; this page checks names against it and does not reproduce it.
