RSMUS.comIt’s no secret that companies in highly regulated industries, such as the life sciences, face the dual challenge of maintaining compliance while ensuring operational efficiency. Managed Service Providers (MSPs) have become strategic partners in navigating these complexities, offering compliance-driven solutions that align with industry standards and regulatory frameworks. RSM’s GxPersonal Compute (GxPC) is a prime example of how MSPs are transforming to meet these demands.
GxPC is designed to support regulatory compliance needs out of the box, making it an ideal solution for companies in regulated industries. Configured to comply with 21 CFR Part 11, HIPAA, and other regulatory requirements, GxPC supports organizations in remaining compliant while leveraging advanced technology. Key features of GxPC include:
- Single Sign-On (SSO) with sign-on audit trail: Provides secure access and traceability.
- Cross-region business continuity: Robust disaster recovery and business continuity solutions.
- Data protection: Includes screenshot protection and disk encryption to safeguard sensitive information.
- One-way clipboard enablement: Prevents unauthorized data transfer.
- Management through Intune: Simplifies device management and policy enforcement.
GxPC offers a cloud-managed ecosystem tailored to the needs of life sciences companies, providing secure, compliant, and fast-to-deploy virtual PCs for contractors, consultants, and remote workers. This solution not only reduces the total cost of ownership (TCO) compared to physical devices but also enhances scalability and flexibility, allowing organizations to rapidly adapt to changing business needs.
Use case: Maintaining zero trust device compliance in regulated industries
Consider a life sciences company that needs to maintain zero trust device compliance while managing a distributed workforce. GxPC enables organizations to provide secure, compliant access to company data from any device, anywhere in the world. This is particularly crucial for remote workers who frequently travel to high-risk geographic areas.
For example, a clinical research organization (CRO) can use GxPC to support all devices in accessing sensitive clinical data in compliance with regulatory standards. The solution’s built-in security features, such as disk encryption and one-way clipboard enablement, prevent unauthorized data access and transfer. Additionally, GxPC’s management through Intune allows organizations to enforce security policies and monitor compliance in real-time.
By leveraging GxPC, the CRO can maintain data integrity and confidentiality by keeping all research and development activities traceable and audit-ready. This not only reduces compliance risk but also accelerates innovation by enabling secure and efficient collaboration across distributed teams.
