Industries / Pharma & BioTech

In the Pharmaceutical industry, protecting data is not just about confidentiality. Important though that is, security and protection in the world of pharmaceuticals needs to cover:

• Safeguarding intellectual property
• Restricting access – especially to R&D information
• Delivering industry compliant solutions
• Protecting valuable business assets
• And all the while maintaining shareholder value

Around the clock and all around the network

Global Data Sentinel understands the value of that data, and that protection needs to be applied not just 24x7x365, but also to cover a range of situations, possibilities and working practices, such as:

• Where data is stored “at rest”
• Who has authority to access
• How is it protected “in transit”
• Is it protected when “in use”
• Are alterations properly logged, audited and reversible?

Encryption at its heart

With a Global Data Sentinel node sitting on a pharmaceutical company network, vital data becomes encrypted, automatically. But simply encrypting the data on the network is not enough – Global Data Sentinel goes much, much, further.

• Data stored on remote devices – PC’s, laptops, tablets, smartphones – is also encrypted to protect it;
• The data remains encrypted while it is in transit across private or public networks;
• Access rights to data on devices can be remotely revoked if they are lost or stolen
• And if a user moves to a different project, access to relevant data is revoked and access authority [privileges] automatically changed

Protection from copying and from change

Our encryption protection is very comprehensive. But we go further.

• Documents and data can also be protected so that they can’t be copied or printed – protection against corporate espionage & insider threats
• Any changes made to a document are maintained in an audit trail
• Network synchronization ensures a change made on one device is automatically reflected on network on any other device.
• And there’s the facility to roll back time and revert to an earlier version across all copies of the data.

Passwords alone are not enough

With our solutions, pharmaceutical businesses are protected from Cyber-crime, malicious hacks, and unauthorized access by the use of two-factor authentication techniques including the use of biometrics.

With the use of biometric technology, and in particular fingerprints, we can ensure that login and password credentials are always used by authorized personnel. Also, because all changes to data are tracked, we can pinpoint and associate each action to the individual accessing the data at any time.
