European Defence Fund
Defence and security research needs strict access control, comprehensive logging and EU-jurisdiction hosting. PROTECTED is built for that rigour. Your own export-control and security-clearance procedures remain yours; the platform supports them.

No. Classified information has to be handled on systems accredited under national security rules, and we don't claim that accreditation. PROTECTED is built for sensitive, unclassified project work with strict access control and logging. Speak to us early if your project involves classified or export-controlled material.
Only the people you authorise, through role-based access with multi-factor authentication, and every access is logged. Our own access is limited to operating the platform. We describe our operating model in the PIF.
Responsibility for export control stays with your consortium. The platform supports it: EU-jurisdiction hosting, restricted access by role and detailed audit trails help you show who accessed what.
