The problem: NSPM-33's four pillars

Every covered institution must demonstrate compliance against all four pillars. Vigilarx covers three of them directly; Pillar 1 is institutional self-attestation per OSTP guidance.

Pillar 1
Cybersecurity
Implement institutional cybersecurity plan meeting NIST IR 8481 controls.
Vigilarx coverage: Self-attestation only — Vigilarx tracks evidence + expiry; institution attests.
Pillar 2
Foreign Travel
Track international travel by covered individuals; pre-approve and brief.
Vigilarx coverage: Travel registration with auto-screen of destination + briefing log.
Pillar 3
Research Security Training
All covered individuals complete NSF Research Security Training (RST).
Vigilarx coverage: Completion ledger + expiry tracker per faculty member.
Pillar 4
Export Control
Train covered individuals on EAR / ITAR / OFAC export control obligations.
Vigilarx coverage: Course completion log + per-faculty status pill.

Your obligations. Your current process. The gap Vigilarx closes.

Most institutions already do most of this somewhere. The gap is consolidation, tamper-evidence, and the citation chain that holds up under FCA review.
