Who we are
History and Mission
BorderLite Insights, Inc. was established to empower exporters, research institutions, and global collaborators with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate the growing complexity of U.S. export controls and research security regulations. As global trade evolves and innovation increasingly intersects with national security, organizations face mounting compliance pressures. Our mission is to simplify these challenges by providing comprehensive solutions that enable our clients to operate with confidence, agility, and full regulatory alignment.
We are problem solvers committed to delivering excellence in every client engagement. Whether supporting a research institution's adherence to NSPM-33 and CUI safeguarding requirements, or advising exporters on EAR and ITAR licensing strategies, our client-first approach remains the same: responsive, informed, and tailored to address unique operational risks. We partner with our clients to transform compliance from a regulatory obligation into a strategic advantage.
