Features

Research security and export control. One defensible methodology.

Vigilarx is the system of record for both NSPM-33 four-pillar compliance AND the full EAR / ITAR / OFAC export-control workflow. Every surface anchored in named federal authorities.

Six core surfaces.

Search Person

Citation-anchored screening

Type a name + institution. Get a 6-section Person Report — Methodology, Identity, Verdict, Why-flagged (with negative-finding documentation when CLEAR), Cited publications, Provenance — every claim anchored to a watchlist evidence row from one of 14 federal authorities.

Co-author Network

Graph-traversal screening

Sweep a faculty member's publication co-authors against the same 14 watchlists. Per-node screening + network-level synthesis identifies signal-density-gated affiliations (the matcher fix that separates slide 9 from slide 10 in the Marcus deck).

Compliance Command Center

Four-pillar NSPM-33 tracker

Cybersecurity, Foreign Travel, Research Security Training, Export Control. Each pillar reflects operational state — not just attestations. A 7-step first-90-days workflow tour anchors the home page so a brand-new RSO knows what to do on day one.

Cert Signing

FCA-defensible RSP certification

Four-step modal flow produces an RSP cert PDF with per-pillar APPROVED stamps and Exhibits A (signatory background), B (methodology snapshot), C (audit trail snapshot) — the same defensibility shape that survives motion-to-strike challenges in adjacent legal-tech.

Audit Trail

Immutable, source-versioned

Every screening, upload, attestation, and decision logged with the exact watchlist version in effect at that moment. Friendly action labels, human-readable entity names, exportable as an HTML or PDF audit packet.

Workflow Tour

First-90-days RSO guide

A guided tour for new RSOs: institution metadata → roster import → screening sweep → pillar attestation → cert signing → audit packet generation → continuous monitoring. Each step renders with WHAT / WHY / HOW + the artifact it produces.
