Research Data Protection & Scientific IP Security

Anexet gives research institutes and R&D teams on-premise control over experimental data, datasets, and unpublished IP — across email, messengers, cloud, removable media, and AI tools.

Why research data is hard to protect

A single dataset or unpublished manuscript can represent years of funding — and it usually walks out through an everyday channel, not a sophisticated attack.

Labs and R&D teams generate the most coveted assets there are: raw experimental data, proprietary models, source code, grant proposals, and pre-publication results. Collaboration with external partners, visiting researchers, and short-term staff means this material is constantly copied, synced to the cloud, and shared across borders.

Anexet runs on-premise — Scinero Software Limited never touches your data — and watches activity on the endpoint, so research-security teams can see who accessed which files, follow how those files travelled, and stop a copy that breaks policy before it leaves the lab.

Where research IP slips away

  • Pre-publication leaks

    Unpublished results, datasets, and manuscripts copied to personal cloud, USB drives, or private email ahead of a move or a paper.

  • Untraceable data flows

    Files passing between collaborators, contractors, and visiting staff with no record of who took what, when, or where it went.

  • Sensitive data fed to AI tools

    Researchers pasting proprietary code, formulas, or subject data into public LLMs and online assistants without a second thought.

How Anexet safeguards research and IP

One on-premise platform — data-leak prevention, activity monitoring, and asset inventory — shaped to the realities of lab and R&D work.

  • Control who reaches your IP and how it is shared

    Govern access to proprietary research and restrict how it can be copied, synced, or sent. Cross-platform agents on Windows, Linux, and macOS keep coverage consistent across the mixed environments labs actually run.

  • Discover sensitive data on endpoints

    Find where datasets, source code, and confidential documents already live on workstations (Premium), then audit every file operation — open, copy, rename, move — so nothing leaves the lab unnoticed (Advanced).

  • Block leaks by content, not just by channel

    Content-aware rules built on digital fingerprints and confidentiality labels (Premium) recognise your protected research and stop it from being sent — even when a file is renamed or buried inside another document.

  • Lock down cloud, devices, and removable media

    Monitor and block uploads to cloud storage, transfers to USB and external drives, printing, and clipboard copies — the routes a dataset most often takes on its way out.

  • Keep proprietary data out of public AI

    Pre-built policies block uploads and pasted text to public AI services and LLMs, so unpublished code, formulas, and findings are not handed to an external model.

  • Trace the full path of a file

    Reconstruct how a dataset or document moved across email, messengers, web, cloud, and devices, and reach for court-grade incident investigation (Premium) when a leak needs to be proven.

See research-data activity in one console

Every intercepted email, messenger and chat thread, web upload, cloud sync, and device transfer lands in a single on-premise console — searchable in full text, so a security officer can answer who touched a dataset and where it went without stitching logs together by hand.

User-behaviour analysis (Premium) scores abnormal access and unusual file activity, an optional on-prem AI model analyses incidents locally with no internet egress, and OCR — including seals and stamps (Premium) — reads text inside scanned documents and images so labelled material is recognised even in a screenshot.

Capabilities research teams lean on

This solution draws on a few Anexet capabilities in particular:

Supports your compliance program

Anexet helps your organization support the data-protection and IP-handling obligations that apply to research, including:

  • GDPR
  • IP-protection law
  • Data-residency requirements

Anexet is a compliance-support tool. It is not a certification and does not replace your own legal or audit assessment.

Science & Research FAQ

Common questions about using Anexet in research institutes and R&D teams.

How does Anexet protect proprietary research and IP?

Anexet monitors how research assets — datasets, source code, unpublished results, and confidential documents — move across email, messengers, web, cloud, and devices, and can block transfers that break your policies before the data leaves the endpoint. Content-aware rules built on digital fingerprints and labels (Premium) recognise protected material even when files are renamed.

Yes. File-operation audit (Advanced) records actions such as open, copy, rename, and move, full-text search ties activity to people and files, and incident investigations (Premium) reconstruct the complete path of a file with an attributable, court-grade trail.

Yes. Pre-built policies block uploads and pasted text to public AI services and LLMs, so unpublished code, formulas, and subject data are not sent to an external model. An optional on-prem AI model analyzes incidents locally instead, with no data leaving your perimeter.

Anexet is deployed on-premise inside your own perimeter, which keeps data residency under your control — a key point for cross-border research collaboration. The vendor has no access to your data, and the optional on-prem AI model analyzes incidents locally, with nothing sent over the internet.

Anexet helps your organization support requirements such as GDPR, intellectual-property protection laws, and data-residency rules by controlling data movement, auditing file operations, and producing incident reports. Anexet itself is not a certification and does not replace your legal or audit assessment.

Pricing is available on request. Tell us your environment and the number of endpoints, and we'll recommend the right plan — Standard, Advanced, or Premium.
