Research Security Program Development

Reactive scrambling is not sustainable. From a targeted gap assessment to comprehensive institutional transformation, we build the foundation that makes research security durable, with capability transfer so you operate independently.

What's included

  • Gap assessment: where you are versus where funders expect you to be.
  • Policy framework: board-ready policies for partnerships, DD, and sensitive research.
  • Governance structure: committee design, reporting lines, decision authorities.
  • Procedures & training: templates staff can follow, and capability transfer.

Institutions building RS capabilityInstitutions responding to funder rulesResearch institutes and think tanksLeadership seeking a defensible program

Why this matters

The problem. Improvising an answer to every funder query is not a strategy, and it fails the moment it is tested.

What we do. We build the governance, policy, and procedures that make research security part of how the institution runs.

The value. You meet expectations by design, and can prove it, rather than improvise it.
