Recognizing the growing importance of mandates from funding bodies and government agencies—including the EU Member States’ recommendations on research security, the National Science Foundation’s Research Security guidelines, and directives from the National Counterintelligence and Security Center—Dimensions has updated its Research Security dashboard app to better support institutional collaboration in research security and compliance.

This latest update enhances the researcher profile feature to streamline information access and support compliance-focused, auditable reviews. Key points include:

  • Accelerated review process: Consolidation of essential researcher data into a simplified interface reduces time required for reviews, providing leaders with streamlined information access.
  • Optimized reporting for collaboration: The new “print to PDF” function enables a comprehensive, timestamped report, facilitating documentation and sharing across compliance, research security, and administrative teams.
  • Audit-ready recordkeeping: Each researcher query now includes applied filters and a timestamp, creating a clear, traceable audit trail to support institutional compliance reviews.

The Dimensions Research Security dashboard app is tailored to the needs of research security and compliance professionals, providing transparent, accessible data that supports efficient task completion and compliance audits. With this update, users can easily identify research security risks, address compliance requirements, and share findings to support institution-wide security and compliance goals. 

Dimensions aims to continue partnering with research institutions, equipping compliance leaders with actionable insights and effective documentation tools to meet today’s complex security demands.
