Secure Document Sharing for API Biologics Development

ShareVault: A Superior Virtual Data Room Platform for
Drug Development

The Active Product Ingredient (API) market is booming. With a current global value of almost $210 billion, APIs represent approximately 10% of the global pharma market.

Many factors continue to drive this market growth around 6% CAGR:

  • Rising prevalence of chronic medical conditions, accelerated by lifestyle changes
  • Aging populations, with the population over the age of 65 projected to double by 2050
  • Patent expirations for branded APIs, creating high growth in generics
  • Accelerated use of genomic data, aided by artificial intelligence analysis

API biologics development is sometimes outsourced to Contract Development and Manufacturing Companies (CDMOs). CDMOs are “one-stop shops” that provide a single source for lab development and product production.

Biologics Collaborations Create Security Vulnerabilities

API development is a collaborative process involving large data files and extensive documentation, shared among labs, CROs, analysts, manufacturers, and other parties. These documents contain confidential and proprietary information that needs to be protected.

The cybercrime community now employs state-of-the-art tools for hacking, and API Biologics development is a prime target. Archived and work-in-progress documents can be attacked by AI-enhanced hacking algorithms. A hack of even a single document can lead to the insertion of malware into the development team’s collaborative network.

The consequences of a hack can be ruinous: ransom demands, loss of intellectual property and competitive information, litigation, and fines - API biologics development and production, like all pharmaceuticals, must adhere to Federal Drug Administration (FDA) and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulatory guidelines that protect patient privacy. The FDA now holds manufacturers accountable for security-related problems.

A Virtual Data Room Provides Secure Document Sharing

A virtual data room (VDR) provides a secure environment for storing confidential documents during API Biologics development. All development parties can share confidential information with ease and without compromising security, protecting against cybercrime and leaks to the competition.

Secure Document Sharing in Biologics

ShareVault Provides a Secure Platform for API Biologics Development

A ShareVault virtual data room is perfect for protecting the vast quantities of files involved in API Biologics development. ShareVault makes them accessible under strict security controls to whomever you grant limited access.

During the development process, parties can safely share critical reports and work-in-process documents with peers and partners. The ShareVault VDR not only protects in-house development but also safeguards collaborations with third parties anywhere around the world.

When the time is right, the development team can invite regulators, investors, and partners to view reports and presentations in an ultra-secure environment. ShareVault’s activity monitor allows the team to provide a detailed report for audits.

ShareVault offers free demos for manufacturers and providers who are interested in seeing firsthand how this security solution could work for them.
