Protecting research IP and validated systems at a pharma manufacturer

Illustrative scenario

Challenge

Formulation research, clinical data and validated manufacturing systems sat on networks with limited segmentation, and the company needed to protect intellectual property while keeping regulated systems stable.

Approach

We classified sensitive research and clinical data, applied data loss prevention to the channels that mattered, segmented validated and manufacturing systems with change-controlled rules, and rehearsed an incident response plan with the quality and legal teams.

Outcome

Typical outcomes: clearer protection for crown-jewel data, reduced blast radius if a system is compromised, and security changes that respect validation and quality processes.
