Research security · Disclosure compliance

Every disclosure verified before your institution certifies.

When your Authorized Organizational Representative signs a federal application, they certify that it is true, complete, and accurate — researcher disclosures included. ResearchSecurity.ai cross-checks those disclosures against authoritative sources and delivers an evidence-graded certification-readiness view, so no one signs blind.

The problem

Institutions now certify what they cannot see.

Through 2026, federal sponsors have brought Common Forms, SciENcv-produced disclosures, ORCID integration, and new research-security certifications into force. Your institution certifies these disclosures as true, complete, and accurate to the best of its knowledge. Yet the information needed to check them sits scattered across systems no reviewer can practically reconcile by hand: publication records, outside appointments, foreign support, travel, and training status.

Each of these cases turned on the same failure: disclosures that did not match the record — mismatches that surfaced only when the government came looking.

The platform

How verification works

1

Connect the record

We assemble each researcher's compliance picture from the systems you already run and authoritative external sources: publications and affiliations, effort and appointments, funding, travel, training, and restricted-party lists.

2

Reconcile every disclosure

The platform cross-checks what was disclosed against what the record shows, and grades the evidence. Consistent items verify quietly. Mismatches surface as exceptions, with the evidence attached.

3

Certify with evidence

Your AOR sees a single certification-readiness view: what was verified, what needs review, and the documented resolution of every exception. The result is captured in an immutable snapshot, ready for any audit.

AI accelerates the reconciliation. Every finding is reviewed by a compliance officer before it becomes a determination; nothing is auto-adjudicated. And "verified" means exactly that: every disclosure goes through verification. Where evidence cannot substantiate a claim, the platform reports "not verifiable" rather than silently passing it.

Our position

Verification, not surveillance.

Beyond form collection

Disclosure systems collect and route forms; they cannot tell you whether a disclosure is true. We verify on top of the system of record you already run. Nothing to rip out.

Not a monitoring tool

We don't build profiles of your researchers. We verify what each researcher personally attested, at the moment your institution certifies it. This is a compliance instrument, not a watchlist.

Evidence you can defend

Every determination carries its evidence and an immutable audit snapshot. When a regulator, an IG, or opposing counsel asks "how did you know?", you show them.

Founding partners

We're selecting a small cohort of founding partner institutions.

Founding partners shape the verification platform against their own compliance reality, with preferred terms and direct access to the team building it. If your institution certifies federal research disclosures, we'd like to talk.
