Uncover hidden risks. Protect funding. Ensure compliance.
Turn fragmented research security checks into a consistent, audit-ready workflow for identifying, reviewing, and documenting potential risk across researchers, collaborations, and organizations.
Research security is under increasing scrutiny. From undisclosed affiliations to complex foreign funding ties, universities, funders, and government agencies face growing pressure to uncover hidden risks, comply with evolving mandates, and protect funding, reputation, and national interests.
“I can see any potential risks at a glance and then drill down into the specifics”
Dr Melissa Bliss, Due Diligence and Compliance Officer, Queen Mary University of London
Research security, from first flag to final report
Dimensions Research Security moves review work through three stages:
1. Configure
Save targeted review criteria, including restricted entities and countries of concern, as reusable review configurations you can apply across researchers or organizations.
2. Review
Add researchers into a dedicated review queue. Analyze risk indicators like restricted-entity affiliations without switching tools, with side-panel previews of the underlying records.
3. Document and report
Assign tags and track status. Export audit-ready, date-stamped reports that include the details of the review configuration, tags, and notes to give your stakeholders full context.
Need to run compliance checks at scale?
The Dimensions Research Security API provides secure, system-to-system access to continuously updated global research data.
