What ARGUS Delivers
Defensible Research Security Assessments – Produces a structured, report-ready due diligence workflow that analysts can inspect, understand, and rely on.
Consistent, Explainable Methodology Backed by Federal Guidance – Translates research security risk findings into a unified structure so results are comparable and defensible across cases and institutions.
Open-Source Evidence in One Place – Assembles bibliometric records, open web sources, and country-of-origin indicators into a single, reviewable evidence set for each subject.
Built by the RSO Community – Designed hand-in-hand with research security officers to reduce administrative burden rather than add to it.
