The Trial Was Everything It Should Have Been.
Double blinded. Randomised. Ethically approved. Every safety protocol signed off. The principal investigator slept well, knowing patients were protected, compounds monitored, and procedures airtight. But no one thought to check the shared spreadsheet sitting in a public cloud folder. Or the third-party lab running patient genomics on a six-year-old server. Or the unsecured API pushing trial data from wearable devices. By the time a routine audit flagged anomalies in the data trail, it was too late.
Source files were altered. The chain of custody was unclear.
The integrity of the trial was compromised; the science was safe. The network was not.
Pharma and Biotech
In pharma and biotech, safety is sacred. Every dose, every device, every procedure is built to protect human lives. But digital safety is often treated as an afterthought. Trial sites using unencrypted spreadsheets.
CROs accessing sensitive data over unsecured Wi-Fi. Shared credentials passed for convenience. Yet the digital layer touches every patient, every result, every regulatory submission. If that layer is weak, the rest can fall apart.
Precision is everything
Leaked patient data can destroy public trust. Compromised results can invalidate years of research. In a field where precision is everything, leaving cybersecurity to chance is a risk no one should take. Clinical teams live by Good Clinical Practice. It is time to add Good Cyber Practice to the standard.
At Alexsta Cybersecurity, we have seen too many good trials put at risk by weak networks. Our mission is to make sure your science is never undermined by your systems. We work with clinical teams, CROs, and research IT departments to keep data integrity intact from the first patient enrolment to the last regulatory submission.
We design secure data flows for trial data, research findings, and regulatory documents, ensuring they remain confidential and intact.
We audit cloud repositories, file sharing systems, and vendor access to prevent poorly segmented storage or lingering credentials from becoming entry points.
We apply least privilege access across teams, vendors, and devices, reducing the risk of credential misuse.
We contain breaches quickly, investigate their source, and recover critical data where possible, minimising operational disruption.
We equip scientific teams with practical security skills so that one mistaken click does not compromise years of work.
Solution
A well-run trial is built on preparation, vigilance, and trust in both the science and the systems that support it. With Alexsta Cybersecurity, you protect trial integrity from start to finish, pass audits with confidence, safeguard sensitive data, and maintain trust with regulators, investors, and patients.
Because if the network is not safe, the trial is not either.
When you work with us, you gain more than a cybersecurity service. You gain a strategic sentinel committed to your resilience.
