Subscriptions: Institutional Access Governance.

The Challenge: Scaling Investigative Capacity Securely

As investigative units grow from individual researchers to enterprise newsrooms or global NGOs, managing software access becomes a complex governance challenge. Traditional individual licenses are often difficult to track, leading to lapses in service and potential security vulnerabilities when accounts are managed through disparate personal payment methods. Furthermore, institutional leaders need a clear way to align their investigative capacity with their budgetary and compliance requirements.
