This report summarizes a full-day workshop delivered at EDUCAUSE CPPC ’26 on building collaborative, institution-wide approaches to research cybersecurity. The workshop focused on how institutions can respond to regulatory, sponsor, and mission-driven cybersecurity pressures through shared responsibility, coordinated governance, stakeholder engagement, and practical planning. Through expert panels, facilitated activities, and room-wide discussion, participants identified institutional pressures, mapped key stakeholders, explored strengths and gaps, and developed near-term action steps. The report identifies key themes that emerged throughout the day, including the importance of identifying champions, using stakeholder mapping and engagement to support cohesive planning efforts, and recognizing the needs of institutions early in their compliance journey. The report also contextualizes “Aha!” moments, key insights captured by participants throughout the workshop. The report documents resource needs identified during the workshop and highlights opportunities for RRCoP, Trusted CI, and other community groups to support future resource development. Overall, it emphasizes that sustainable research cybersecurity requires more than isolated technical or compliance efforts. It requires coordinated institutional action that supports the research mission while meeting evolving cybersecurity expectations.
