Information security is intellectual property security
Without the resources and guidance to stay ahead of cybersecurity threats, life sciences companies might lack visibility to true risks and exposures.
Information security management is particularly complex in the life sciences industry. In addition to safeguarding sensitive intellectual property and employee information, companies must protect patient data from the potential catastrophe of a breach.
Different types of information require different regulations and controls. An approach to protecting medical device schematics, for example, might differ from how organizations must secure clinical trial data. However, taking a reactive approach to any form of information security can leave data much more vulnerable.
What is the bar for ideal information security?
Many information security regulations are clear, such as for medical devices or patient information. However, regulatory requirements to keep data and assets secured are less prescriptive.
Although specific regulatory demands might vary within different life sciences areas, an overall approach to security should always remain current and comprehensive.
The most valuable measure of an information security strategy comes from a broad industry perspective combined with deep cybersecurity risk expertise.
Life sciences companies don’t always have the internal resources they need to fully execute their ideal cybersecurity risk management programs. By engaging external, specialized information security consultants, companies can improve their security postures.
