Security research & engineering
We build TAREOps, an AI-native laboratory information management system for high-assurance environments. Our services span AI security, cybersecurity, and device and firmware assessments, helping teams understand system risks and act on technical findings.
Tell us about the system and the decision. We’ll help agree the scope and the written outputs.
Our flagship product
TAREOps is our AI-native, next-generation Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), designed for high-assurance environments with an integrated Digital Lab Notebook and Digital Lab Assistant. It is designed to connect data ingestion, analysis and controlled AI actuation in one laboratory workflow. TARE stands for Technical Analysis & Research Engine.
Records and sample management are available to design partners. Assistant documentation remains active R&D; deep instrument ingestion is on the roadmap. Review the maturity notes for current capabilities and availability.
Engineering services
Choose the area that fits your system. Each engagement has an agreed question, scope and written outputs.
Find out how your AI systems handle sensitive data and actions. We assess existing workflows, build controlled integrations and help resolve security findings.
Get a technical review of your architecture, security controls or vendor claims. We help engineering teams, leadership, counsel and MSPs understand what needs attention.
Examine how a device is built, the components it contains and the firmware it runs. OASIS lab methods help answer questions about its condition, materials and behavior.
How engagements work
Agree on the system, access, constraints, decision and outputs before work starts.
Build, assess or remediate within the agreed scope, documenting material changes and limits.
Hand over the work, verification results, known limitations and next steps.
Before you engage
See how a review presents scope, methods, findings and recommended changes. The sample package illustrates the format and level of detail.
About TKOResearch
TKOResearch is led by Kevin O’Connor. The work combines hands-on security engineering, applied research and software development, with written findings and clear limits on what was tested.
