Research Parks, Innovation Hubs, + Incubators

IPTalons partners with research centers to implement managed research security services as a critical component of the start-up community. Outsourcing research security protects early-stage projects from foreign influence and unethical competitors, reduces internal administrative burdens, and positions technologies for fundraising, commercialization, licensing, and acquisition.

We can also protect the research ecosystem with our due diligence and vetting of potential tenants to flag foreign influence threats before infiltrating your research park, innovation hub, start-up incubator, or co-working space.

Small and Midsize Businesses (SMBs)

IPTalons provides peace-of-mind proactive risk management services to safeguard your innovation and technologies from insider and outsider threats. Our outsourced, cost-effective innovation defense solutions are designed for pre-revenue through midsized companies. The complete subscription-based package includes policy framework, employee training, leadership consulting, and risk assessment advisory services.

Starting at $750 per month, your company can implement a world-class security program to demonstrate your commitment to protecting your intellectual property, giving assurances to investors, employees, supply chain partners, and customers.

Investment Due Diligence

IPTalons partners with Venture Capital (VC), Private Equity (PE), and Family Offices to evaluate the risk of intellectual property misuse, loss, theft, and misappropriation within their investment portfolios. Most investment decisions are based on the company’s idea, team, innovation, and prospective financial returns.

We provide another risk element to inform the investment decision process — how well can the company protect its innovations, trade secrets, team members, and intellectual property against threats posed by insiders and outsiders, including foreign influence threat actors and unethical competitors?

We can provide the necessary managed services to protect investments if there are gaps.

Research Universities + Institutions

IPTalons provides managed research security services to leading universities and research institutions in the United States and worldwide. Federal and State regulations and specific research grant-funding authority guidelines now require higher education institutions to proactively manage their foreign influence, foreign travel, cybersecurity, export control, and conflicts of interest and commitment risks.

We are the “easy button” for research security compliance. Don’t over-invest in research security — we know how to build the right-sized program in a cost-effective way. We help your team design, implement, manage, and continuously improve your research security program. We can also ensure that your organization can meet all of the compliance requirements found in the NSPM-33, CHIPS and Sciences Act, NDAA, DoD CUI, SBIR/STTR, NIH, DoE, NASA, NOAA, and corporate-sponsored grants and contracts.

Critical Technology Companies

IPTalons partners with large companies and research enterprises working in critical technology sectors to assess and improve the effectiveness of their insider risk management programs. We assist with strategic risk management plans, merger and acquisition due diligence checks, high-risk employee terminations, external partner vetting activities, and supply chain security assessments. We also conduct user behavior monitoring and insider threat investigations.
