Quintiles’ Identity Management Solution introduced identity vetting,
identity storage and identity synchronization that improved data quality
for both existing and newly established users. The resulting system
supports faster business enablement of critical project activities
including site start-up while reducing identity-based security risks.
“As a company operating in over 100 countries and executing trials with
over 38,000 partner investigators globally, we recognized the need for a
global, simplified solution,” said Charles Newberry, chief information
security officer at Quintiles. “As more clinical development activities
accelerate toward digital solutions, secure user access to systems and
data that improve speed and accuracy are even more critical. The
Identity Management Solution is designed with those trends in mind —
simultaneously reducing administrative burden and expediting crucial
clinical trial activities while maintaining the integrity and security
of users’ data.”
Each year, the CSO50 Awards recognize 50 organizations for security
projects and initiatives that demonstrate outstanding business value and
thought leadership. Nominations are scored on a uniform set of criteria
by a panel of judges including security leaders, industry experts, and
academics. The final winning selections are made by CSO's editors based
on this scoring process.
“We are honored to receive this award which reflects our world-class
security team and software development teams who pioneered this
innovative approach,” Newberry added.
“Security professionals know that securing an organization is about much
more than mere defense today; it’s also about enabling business and
driving ROI,” said Joan Goodchild, editor in chief, CSO. “Our annual
CSO50 Awards recognize the innovation, creativity and business acumen
that goes into creating outstanding security projects. We congratulate
each of our winners for their accomplishments in creating projects that
not only demonstrate state-of-the-art security, but exemplary business
value as well.”
