Consider these sobering facts on Cybersecurity incidents:

Since 2020, there has been over a five-fold increase in data breaches. This unprecedented spike has been so severe security experts have classified this activity as a “Cyber Pandemic.” The 2021 Annual Cost of a Data Breach Report published by the Ponemon Institute and IBM Security released these alarming statistics:

Data breach costs rose from $3.86 million to $4.24 million, the highest average total cost in the history of this report.
The average cost of a data breach for organizations with less than 500 employees was 2.94 million.
Customer personally identifiable information (PII) was the most common type of record lost, included in 44% of breaches and was the costliest record type, at $180 per lost or stolen record.
The Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Industries, which the report categorized both the biotech and life science sectors under, had the highest average total cost of a data breach experienced by any industry (Healthcare ranked #1, and Pharmaceutical #3).

Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)
Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) of 1988 contains the Code of US Federal Regulations that govern any entity that returns patient test results for the purposes of caring for that patient. CLIA ensures that there is a standard of quality associated with test results across laboratory testing performed on specimens from humans such as blood, body fluid, and tissue, for the purposes of diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of disease or assessment of human health. This ensures the accuracy, reliability, and timeliness of laboratory test results regardless of where the test was performed.

Service Organization Control 2 (SOC 2)​
SOC 2 is coveted and hard to obtain information-security certification, and it demonstrates that an independent accounting and auditing firm has examined an organization’s non-financial reporting control objectives and activities. The auditing firm tests our controls over time to ensure that they are operating securely and effectively. Developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), SOC stands for Service and Organization Control. It defines criteria for managing customer data based on five “trust services principles” — security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
