Protecting research - unlocking innovation
The context
A leading pharmaceutical company, heavily invested in R&D, handles vast amounts of highly sensitive data every day: patents, proprietary formulas, and clinical trial results.
This critical information needs to be shared securely across internal departments (R&D, Legal, Manufacturing) and with external partners (research labs, contract manufacturing organizations).
The challenge
The risk was twofold:
- The intense collaboration on research documents increased the likelihood of accidental or unauthorized disclosure.
- The continuous data exchange between departments and vendors required a solution that could protect sensitive content without slowing down workflows.
The solution
To safeguard research and clinical data while enabling real-time collaboration, the company deployed FileGrant across its internal and external user base. This ensured robust security and smooth data exchange.
End-to-end encryption - All data is protected through secure folders using AES 256-bit encryption, with keys managed via Azure HSM.
Granular access controls - Permissions are defined by role and can be edited in real time, minimizing the risk of errors, leaks, or theft.
Secure real-time collaboration - Integration with Microsoft 365 enables teams to work together on the same document live – without ever decrypting the file locally.
