Effectively protecting disruptive U.S. science and technology (S&T) and research and development (R&D) capabilities while accommodating accelerated progress is essential to our National Security. In response to continuously evolving threats and the subsequent publication of U.S. mandates that include the National Defense Authorization Acts of 2019 and 2021, the National Security Presidential Memorandum 33, and policy from agencies such as the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, System High has developed a proven, proactive, structured, analytical approach to identify vectors of risk targeting cutting edge S&T programs.

Our subject matter experts have worked closely with the Government in developing the tradecraft, methodologies, risk reports, and mitigation strategies that best prepare our clients in meeting all Government Research Security criteria required for Federal funding. Our services enable your organization to establish a Research Security Program (RSP) equipped to develop appropriate policies, establish training programs, and implement workflows from new start efforts. If you have an RSP established program in execution, our analysts will enhance existing efforts with the latest and most advanced methodologies. We will incorporate all Government guidance, including risk-based security review criteria for fundamental research and ensuring the latest standards are being implemented. System High brings full appreciation and currency of applicable Government standards, directives, and expectations, ensuring you a comprehensive program. We recommend Government-acceptable risk mitigation strategies, ensuring top talent are eligible to apply for funding and positively impact Federal funding decisions. System High assessments enable client success in demonstrating a proactive organizational security posture providing U.S. Government agencies the confidence that perceived risk exposure to foreign influence has been identified and mitigated.

Our list of services incorporates much more than your RSP. We provide visitor risk assessments, visitor access control, enterprise-controlled Controlled Unclassified Information control, counter insider threat, and export compliance expertise on some of America’s most critical National Security Missions.
