Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies work closely with their partners as they engage in drug discovery and development. Sharing research, clinical data, and related information securely is critical, as is protecting each party's intellectual property.

At the same time, the privacy of patient data and the integrity of the business process must also be assured in order to meet regulatory statutes such the Healthcare Information Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX).

Fortressware provides the unique security solution for protecting sensitive content as it flows between partners.

Using Fortressware, pharmaceutical and biotech firms can:

• Continuously protect sensitive content from the point at which it is created to all points of use, regardless of whether the use point is local or remote, online or offline.
• Incorporate researchers, planners, marketers, and other staff members from various groups into cross-organizational projects, all easily set up and managed by a project manager without unnecessarily burdening IT.
• Enable each member of a workgroup to participate in multiple projects concurrently without risk of leaking information between projects.
• Secure existing processes or define new processes for using information securely, updating them dynamically at any stage of the discovery and development process.
