Clinical trials are a crucial step in developing new life sciences products such as drugs and medical devices. All tests – whether with large or small groups of people – require medical and personal information from patients upfront, and then proceed to collect data throughout the process. Ultimately, research companies are responsible for large sets of sensitive data and securing that information should be a top priority.
Why does clinical trial data need to be protected?
To begin with, there are legal requirements for medical data security. All clinical trials require medical histories and personal information from everyone in the study.
