Morphology

resecure = secure (transparent) = re + secure

This sense is built transparently from 'secure' in the sense 'obtain or arrange' plus 're-' meaning again.

Etymology

Resecure uses re- 'again' plus secure 'to make safe' or 'to get', so it can also mean to get or arrange something again, such as funding, a contract, or a client's trust.
