Research security review, done in minutes — with defensible reasoning.

Nobris uses explainable, policy-aware analysis to support research-security review, producing clear findings, required follow-ups, and audit-ready documentation.

Supports review across sensitive technology areas, external affiliations, disclosure requirements, and denied-party screening.

Explainable intelligence for fair, consistent research-security review.

The Problem

Research security expectations keep rising. Review teams are stretched, policies evolve, and turnaround times shrink.

Manual screening is slow, inconsistent, and difficult to defend under audit.

  • Fragmented policies across programs and sponsors
  • Inconsistent treatment of similar cases
  • Limited visibility into disclosures and identifiers
  • Weak audit trail for contested decisions

The result: delayed decisions, uneven risk calls, and avoidable compliance exposure.

The Solution

Nobris unifies intake, policy-aware analysis, and defensible reporting for research security.

It analyzes proposals for research-security concerns related to technology sensitivity, external affiliations, and disclosure completeness—then explains why they matter and what follow-up may be appropriate.

  • What the potential risks are
  • Why they matter
  • What follow-up actions may be appropriate

Nobris supports early-stage research-security review and documentation, integrating into existing institutional review and compliance processes.

Who It’s For

Purpose-built for teams managing research-security risk across proposals and collaborations.

  • Research security and export control offices
  • Sponsored programs and compliance teams
  • Program managers and reviewers
  • University research leadership
  • Funders and evaluators requiring consistent, defensible documentation

Outcomes

  • Surfaces risks humans miss at scale
  • Applies consistent review standards across programs and units
  • Creates a traceable audit trail from intake to decision

Key Capabilities

Designed to support consistent, explainable research-security review across proposals, collaborators, and disclosures.

Policy-Aware Screening

Evaluates research materials against applicable research-security requirements to support consistent, policy-aligned review.

Affiliation & Identifier Review

Identifies potential inconsistencies between declared affiliations and associated digital or organizational identifiers.

Technology Sensitivity Identification

Highlights research areas that may warrant additional scrutiny based on sensitivity or strategic relevance.

Disclosure Review Support

Surfaces potential disclosure gaps or inconsistencies for reviewer follow-up, while leaving determinations to institutional processes.

Mitigation & Follow-Up Guidance

Outlines appropriate next steps to help reviewers document, escalate, or resolve identified issues.

Audit-Ready Documentation

Produces clear, standardized records that capture what was reviewed, what was found, and how decisions were supported.

How It Works

1) Submit materials

Upload proposals and supporting files.

2) Automated analysis

Nobris analyzes materials against policies, disclosures, identifiers, and affiliations.

3) Human review and decision

Review a concise assessment with recommended actions.

Built for Defensible, Fair Review

Nobris keeps reviewers in the loop with explainable findings tied to policy references. Every case captures what was checked, what was found, and the rationale for next steps.
