Solutions for Educational Research Labs
TechnoMile solutions help educational research labs protect classified programs and manage their cleared workforce with a single, authoritative security platform built for organizations operating at the intersection of academia and national security.
Research institutions supporting national security missions occupy a uniquely complex security environment. Managing a cleared workforce that includes researchers, engineers, and rotating academic staff – while safeguarding classified programs across decentralized facilities and satisfying the oversight expectations of multiple government sponsors – places extraordinary demands on security teams that are rarely large enough for the programs they support. High personnel turnover, multi-sponsor program portfolios, and the inherent tension between open academic culture and classified program requirements create security challenges that generic tools simply weren't built to handle. Institutions that can centralize security operations, automate clearance and access management, and maintain continuous compliance across personnel, facilities, and classified systems are best positioned to protect their programs, satisfy sponsor oversight, and preserve the research mission.
TechnoMile brings decades of experience supporting educational research institutions, FFRDCs, UARCs, and high-security government programs operating under NISPOM, SAP, SCI, and SEAD 3 and SEAD 6 requirements. Our SIMS Suite gives research institution security teams a single, authoritative platform to manage cleared personnel, classified facilities, visitor control, incidents, and insider threat programs – replacing disconnected tools with unified visibility and enabling teams to operate with confidence across even the most complex program environments.
Streamline security operations and maintain continuous compliance.
SIMS is a comprehensive security management platform that unifies personnel, physical, and information security into a single, trusted system of record.
Built on decades of real-world expertise operating and supporting high-security programs across the defense industrial base, government agencies, and the research community, SIMS is purpose-built to support NISPOM, 32 CFR Part 117, SAP, SCI, and SEAD 3 requirements. Through automation, real-time visibility, and robust reporting, SIMS streamlines security operations, reduces oversight burden, and enables research institutions to manage complex, multi-sponsor program portfolios efficiently while maintaining continuous compliance with confidence.
Reduce security team workload with employee self‑service access.
SIMS Employee Portal gives cleared employees – including researchers, engineers, and rotating academic staff – self-service access to review and validate key personnel information, such as clearance status, foreign travel, and training records, while enabling digital submission of common security requests and reports.
By eliminating emails and manual forms, the portal reduces routine inquiries and administrative burden on security staff. Real-time updates flow directly into SIMS, keeping records current across a high-turnover workforce, improving responsiveness, and allowing security teams to focus on higher-value, mission-critical work.
Simplify visitor management across high-security facilities.
SIMS Lobby works hand-in-hand with SIMS to deliver efficient, end-to-end visitor management at high-security facilities – including classified facilities located within or adjacent to open academic campuses.
Designed for security officers and entry control personnel, it supports digital pre-screening, approvals, clearance and access verification, badge issuance, and fast check-in and checkout. Integrated workflows simplify managing visitors, meetings, and conferences while providing real-time visibility into who is onsite and why – helping institutions maintain strong security controls and inspection-ready records across diverse and high-volume visitor environments.
Bring speed, consistency, and compliance to security workflows.
SIMS Workflow is a highly configurable business process automation solution designed to systematize and automate time-consuming security workflows. Working seamlessly with SIMS, it digitizes case initiation, data collection, and approvals through dynamic forms, automated notifications, and digitally generated and signed documents.
By enabling coordinated, role-based participation across Security, HR, IT, and other stakeholders, SIMS Workflow strengthens cross-functional collaboration in support of a compliant, audit-ready security program. Built-in validations and real-time synchronization with SIMS support accurate reporting, faster cycle times, and reduced administrative burden across demanding security processes.
Transform security data into actionable insight and oversight.
SIMS Dashboards extends the power of SIMS by transforming real-time and historical security data into clear, actionable visual insights that support data-driven decision-making.
With a library of more than 25 dashboards, security leaders and program security officers gain immediate visibility into security posture, trends, risk, and workload across personnel, contracts and DD Form 254 requirements, facilities, visitors, incidents, and insider-threat indicators. Flexible filtering, role-based access, and one-click exports enable faster decisions, proactive risk management, and effective sponsor oversight – without manual reporting or data calls.
