Building a research security program

Today’s research environment is more connected – and more scrutinized – than ever. With the rise of federal mandates like NSPM-33 and the STRAC framework in Canada, the pressure on institutions to provide transparent oversight is growing.

Digital Science is proud to co-host this expert-led webinar alongside Kharon, Huron, and Carnegie Mellon University. Together, we’re showing how institutions can move away from reactive, manual “box-ticking” and toward a proactive strategy that uses high-fidelity data to safeguard global collaborations.

What we’ll explore in this session

How can your institution move beyond reactive compliance toward a proactive security posture? This session provides actionable insights on modernizing research security workflows, including:

• Navigating the policy landscape: A breakdown of how NSPM-33 and other regulatory drivers are reshaping institutional risk and disclosure requirements.
• The university perspective: Real-world lessons on evolving from legacy review processes to a modernized, tech-enabled program that scales with your institution.
• Consultancy insights: Strategic best practices for managing institutional risk while maintaining operational efficiency and faculty support.
• The Kharon & Dimensions impact: How integrating expert risk data into the Dimensions Research Security platform solves complex operational challenges and saves time.
• Strategic future-proofing: How to use data to proactively manage affiliations and safeguard your institution in an increasingly scrutinized environment.
