Our Impact
SecureDNA provides the world's first free, privacy-preserving screening system that enables scientific progress while preventing misuse. We're closing a critical security gap in DNA synthesis and ensuring hazardous sequences are identified before they're ever created.
Why SecureDNA Matters
- Preventing Future Risks: As DNA synthesis becomes more accessible and AI lowers barriers to dual-use research, our technology provides a crucial first line of defense against accidental or deliberate misuse.
- Protecting Intellectual Property: Our breakthrough cryptographic approach keeps proprietary sequences completely confidential while still effectively screening for hazards—preserving both security and innovation.
- Universal Access: By offering our solution at no cost, we're democratizing access to best-in-class security, ensuring even small labs and startups can implement robust protections.
Real-World Impact
Global Adoption Network
- Diverse Implementation: Our platform serves a growing community of users spanning multinational corporations, academic institutions, and specialized synthesis providers across North America, Europe, and Asia.
- Seamless Integration: SecureDNA adapts effortlessly to different operational environments—from high-volume commercial production to academic core facilities and compact benchtop setups.
- Cross-Border Collaboration: We've established unique international partnerships that strengthen the global biosecurity landscape while respecting regional priorities.
Technical Excellence
- Unmatched Privacy: Our proprietary implementation of Distributed Oblivious Pseudorandom Functions (DOPRF) ensures neither SecureDNA nor any single server ever sees your DNA sequences.
- Lightning-Fast Results: Most screening completes in less time than it takes to load a typical website, allowing research to proceed without workflow disruption.
- Perfect Precision: Validated against 67 million base pairs of real-world DNA synthesis data with zero false positives, our approach identifies genuine hazards while eliminating unnecessary flags.
- Comprehensive Coverage: As the only system that can effectively screen fragments as small as 30bp, we close a security vulnerability that other approaches miss entirely.
Practical Security Solutions
- Benchtop Protection: Our lightweight software runs directly on synthesis devices, even on modest hardware like Raspberry Pi, making universal screening both technically and economically viable.
- Automated Compliance: Our pioneering exemption certification system allows authorized researchers to access necessary sequences without bureaucratic delays, balancing security with scientific progress.
- Continuous Protection: Our database updates rapidly to incorporate emerging threats, providing protection against even newly discovered hazards.
Why SecureDNA Stands Apart
Why SecureDNA Stands Apart
| Feature | SecureDNA | Traditional Screening |
|---|---|---|
| Privacy | Cryptographic protocols keep full sequences invisible to external parties | Sequence data may be exposed to third-party reviewers or external databases |
| Performance | Near-instant results (seconds) even at large scales | Manual review can lead to hours or days of turnaround |
| Coverage | Screens fragments down to 30bp, catching threats that slip under older methods | Often limited to longer sequences, leaving gaps in biosecurity |
| Accuracy | Zero false positives in extensive real-world testing—no unnecessary roadblocks | Higher chance of false alarms, requiring added manual verification |
| Accessibility | Freely available with minimal hardware needs (e.g., Raspberry Pi) | Often expensive with specialized hardware or proprietary infrastructure |
| Compliance & Flexibility | Exemption Certificates allow authorized research to proceed without delays | Rigid processes can hinder legitimate scientists who need quick approvals |
Setting the New Standard
SecureDNA is emerging as the de facto framework for responsible DNA synthesis. By providing a solution that's simultaneously more secure, more private, and more accessible than existing approaches, we're redefining what's possible in biosecurity.
