Our Data Security Policies

We ensure that your clinical trial study is compliant to all local and international regulations regarding the management of patient information and data security. Our processes and SOPs ensure compliance with HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act), and GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). 

Sensitive research participant information is managed using our centralized EDC databases, where all identifiers are removed from the data to ensure research participants confidentiality. Through remote data monitoring, regular system back-ups, and risk mitigation strategies, we are constantly ensuring that your data is secure, viable, and error-free. All study documentation, data, and communications are shared between parties using password-protected, encrypted software.

Lastly, not only do we ensure the security of your data, but we also provide transparency and accessibility. Raw data entered into EDC is processed and displayed in customized data dashboards that allow for real-time access to study and data metrics as well as rapid creation of study-specific reports and meeting presentation materials.
