Frequently Asked Questions

What is Trusted Research?

Trusted research is the UK's reasearch and innovation sector term for safeguarding the UK's Intellectual Property (IP), its sensitive research, its researchers, and its research infrastructure against risks such as theft, misues, or influence from potential hostile actors.

How does DiliDue work?

Our platform enriches user-provided data with information from multiple trusted sources, such as government websites, sanctions databases and more. It then uses Artificial Intelligence alongside our proprietary CLEARA Risk Assessment Framework to deliver clear and concise Risk Assessments.

How is the level of risk classified in the Risk Assessment?

DiliDue employs the proprietary CLEARA Risk Index -- enhanced by advanced Artificial Intelligence algorithms -- to assess the level of risk of a project in relation to the NSI Act and gives recommendations on NSI Act notifications. The Risk Assessment Framework evaluates multiple dimensions, including the level of Control a collaborator or ‘acquirer’ gains over arising Intellectual Property (IP); the Location and jurisdiction of the collaborating entity; Exposure of- and the sensitivity and strategic importance of the Asset or IP, including its technology sector; as well as the Relationships of the collaborator or ‘Acquirer’ with entities or individuals flagged for national security concerns.

Is my data safe with you?

Absolutely. We take data security and privacy very seriously. Our infrastructure is built in alignment with SOC2 & ISO27001 principles, using modern, trusted enterprise tools and following industry best practices.

User data is stored in a secure United Kingdom, SOC 2 Type II-compliant environment, encrypted at rest with AES-256 and protected in transit using Transport Layer Security (TLS).

We only work with trusted sub-processors under a strict Zero Data Retention (ZDR) policy. This means neither user inputs nor user outputs are retained or used for AI training purposes by our sub-processors.

We handle user data with the utmost care, only accessing it manually in rare cases when troubleshooting issues with users. We do not share your information with third parties except when legally required.

Will my data be used to train the Artificial Intelligence models?

No, we do not train AI models on user data.

Are the Risk Assessments always accurate?

We work hard to ensure our systems provide the most accurate and error-free data and reports. As Artificial Intelligence is rapidly evolving, our systems are continuously being improved to enhance report accuracy. Yet, AI can still make mistakes, so it is important to check the reports thoroughly.


Please note that DiliDue Risk Assessments are intended as guidance and should not be considered legal advice.
