When security feels like suspicion, you lose.
Detect insider recruitment risk and build trust across diverse teams.
Transparent. Informed. Contestable.
Protect your IP—and the people who create it.
Security Without Surveillance
Companies at the forefront of innovation— AI, quantum computing, semiconductors, advanced materials and biotech — face a growing threat: sophisticated actors actively recruiting insiders to steal intellectual property.
The typical response is heavy monitoring, nationality-based restrictions, and zero-trust systems that treat employees like suspects. But surveillance doesn't just erode morale— it backfires. It drives away your best talent and makes those who stay more susceptible to the adversaries you're trying to stop.
When security feels like suspicion, you lose.
The Havn Approach
Havn helps organizations protect their intellectual property without surveillance or profiling.
Our platform analyzes professional relationships—co-authorships, collaborations, organizational ties—to detect patterns that may indicate recruitment or exfiltration risk. Employees in sensitive roles participate with full transparency about what's analyzed and the right to contest findings.
It's a new model of insider-risk management built on transparency, consent, and accountability. Because when employees trust their organization's security practices, they become your strongest defense—not your weakest link.
Havn is how you protect innovation without undermining it.
Like Security Clearances— But Transparent
.For decades, security clearances have protected classified information by vetting relationships before granting access. Havn brings the same principle to commercial IP—with modern transparency and fairness.
Like traditional clearances: Required for roles with access to sensitive IP
Unlike traditional clearances: Employees see what's analyzed, understand the reasoning, and can challenge findings
It's access control that treats employees as partners, not subjects.
How It Works
1. Consent and Informed
Employees in sensitive roles see exactly what data is analyzed and how it's used.
2. Secure Data Integration
Builds trust through transparency, not secrecy.
3. Risk Insight Generation
The system is being built to identify potential indicators of insider recruitment risk through transparent, explainable analytics.
4. Shared Transparency
Security and HR teams access results through secure dashboards, while employees retain the ability to view and contest findings.

Technology
Havn is being built on a scalable, cloud-native architecture designed for secure, high-volume data processing.
It is designed to process data on people and organizations through structured ingestion, refinement, and analytics pipelines, ultimately identifying relationship patterns associated with insider recruitment risk.
The system integrates with authorized third-party data sources through controlled and encrypted channels, maintaining strict data isolation and auditability. Our architecture emphasizes:
Privacy – No behavioral monitoring
Transparency – Full audit trails and explainable results
Integration – API access for compliance or HR systems
Security – Encrypted storage, zero-trust deployment model
Built for Today’s Reality
In an era of increased scrutiny on international talent, organizations need protection strategies that don't alienate the people driving their innovation. Havn makes it possible to address legitimate security concerns without profiling, monitoring, or creating a culture of suspicion.
Global Expertise for Global Teams
Insider-threat detection in international organizations requires understanding regional academic networks, institutional affiliations, and professional norms across cultures.
Havn combines graph analytics with expert review from analysts with deep knowledge of Chinese, Japanese, European, and other regional research ecosystems. The result: security analysis that distinguishes normal international collaboration from actual recruitment risk—reducing both false alarms and missed threats.
Whether your team works with partners in Beijing, Tokyo, or Boston—we understand the context.
Use Cases
For Security & Compliance Leaders
Detect insider recruitment risk early—without surveillance. Identify when a senior engineer's network suddenly includes recruiters from a strategic competitor or foreign research institute. Demonstrate ethical diligence to boards and regulators while strengthening insider-risk programs.
For HR & People Operations
Show employees your security program protects people as well as IP. Prevent bias in investigations with transparent, culturally aware, contestable findings. Retain top international talent by proving fairness and trust in practice, not just policy.
For Leadership
Protect the innovation engine you've built. Communicate values and vigilance in one consistent story. Make security a source of competitive advantage, not a cultural liability.
Our Commitment
Havn is founded on the principle that protecting IP and respecting employees are not opposites—they are mutually reinforcing.
We're organized as an LLC with a public commitment to transparency, privacy, and fairness in all data practices. Our mission: to make ethical IP security the standard.
