Research Security Analysis Software

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

Nobris uses explainable, policy-aware analysis to evaluate proposals against Critical and Emerging Technology (CET) domains, Section 1286 institutions, disclosure rules, and denied-party screening. Get clear findings, required follow-ups, and audit-ready documentation in one place.

Explainable intelligence for fair, consistent research-security review.

Example Nobris Analysis (Illustrative)

Proposal Review Summary
───────────────────────
✔ CET relevance detected: Quantum Information Science
⚠ Affiliation signal identified: undeclared research collaboration
ℹ Disclosure inconsistency: prior funding not listed

Policy Context
──────────────
• CET List (2024): Quantum Information
• NDAA §1286: External affiliation requires review

Recommended Follow-Up
─────────────────────
→ Request disclosure clarification
→ Refer for targeted institutional 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 screens proposals against Critical and Emerging Technology (CET) domains, Section 1286 institutions, disclosure risks, and denied-party screening — then explains why they matter and what follow-up may be appropriate.

Key Capabilities

Policy-Aware Screening

CET domains, Section 1286, disclosure rules, and denied-party screening alignment.

Affiliation & Identifier Analysis

Cross-checks email domains and contact identifiers against claimed affiliations.

Technology Sensitivity Mapping

Flags sensitive domains and explains the relevance for reviewer awareness.

Disclosure & COI/COC Support

Highlights gaps and inconsistencies for follow-up. No enforcement decisions.

Mitigation & Next-Step Guidance

Suggests blocking vs. non-blocking actions and escalation pathways.

Audit-Ready Reporting

Concise summaries and exportable documentation for recordkeeping and sponsor response.

How It Works

1) Submit materials

Upload proposals and supporting files.

2) Automated analysis

Nobris reviews 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.
