Built where research security matters most.

NSPM-33 requires a certified research security program, and sponsors are enforcing disclosure — NIH and NSF letters now land on campuses that miss an affiliation. Most research security offices are two or three people accountable for thousands of international collaborations, inside a culture built on openness.

We stand up the program certification requires — gap assessment, architecture, and policy — then put the platform to work triaging faculty, postdocs, and visiting scholars at scale. Every screening is cited and dated, so the office can stand behind a decision with faculty, counsel, and sponsors alike, and our analysts step in on the cases that warrant a closer look.

The risk isn't your staff — it's the thousands of investigators you fund. Nondisclosure usually surfaces after the money has moved, program integrity referrals take months to build, and Congress asks what the agency knew before the award was made.

We move vetting upstream of the award: portfolio-scale review of applicants and awardees, prioritized so program integrity staff spend their time on the cases that matter. When a flag needs to become a referral, our analysts help build the documented, cited assessment that carries it.

DOE Order 486.1 draws a hard line on foreign government talent programs, and at a cleared facility a missed affiliation isn't a paperwork problem — it's a security incident, with clearances and mission on the line. Self reporting and résumés were never designed to catch it.

We go past the résumé: deep analysis of publication, funding, and affiliation history that surfaces relationships a badge process never sees. Findings arrive as auditable, cited records your security organization can act on — and stand behind in an inquiry.

Controlled technology leaves through people, not just shipments — a deemed export happens the moment the wrong person sees the data. Primes and contractors answer to program security, DCSA, and the government customer for everyone near ITAR and EAR controlled work.

We vet the people and partners behind your programs with export control front of mind — who they've worked with, who funded them, what that history means for access decisions — and assemble documentation that satisfies program security reviews and the customer's security office alike.

A pipeline is a decade and a billion dollars, and the science that builds it is collaborative by nature. Biotech rarely loses its edge to a breach — it loses it through relationships, as dual use know-how walks out the door legally, one collaboration at a time.

We map the funding and affiliation networks around your most sensitive programs and vet the researchers and partners closest to them — protecting the IP without shutting down the collaboration your science depends on.

CHIPS funding made research security a contract term: recipients must run a program and prove it works. Meanwhile, the know-how that matters most lives in a few hundred engineers' heads — and entity listed competitors recruit them by name.

We help you stand up the program your funding agreement obligates and watch the people it can't afford to lose — screening and network analysis tuned to recruitment and export control exposure, documented to the standard a federal award expects.

Your research arm publishes like a university and is recruited like one. Corporate labs collaborate globally by design — but a collaborator tied to a listed institution can put export controlled technology, hard won IP, and your government relationships at risk. Most companies have no research security function at all.

We screen the researchers and map the collaboration networks inside your labs — the same cited, defensible record universities rely on — and help you stand up a research security function sized for a company, not a compliance office.
