The Leader in
Biotech IT
Our team understands the extensive regulatory requirements of the life science industry including GxP, 21 CFR Part 11, SOX and more. We provide the strategic technology planning you need to transition your ideas into reality.
Information Technology
Empowering ScienceDriving Innovation
Regulatory and technology requirements change as companies progress through the life sciences business model. As your business grows, your world is going to get a lot more complicated. InfoPathways provides the technology and support you need to manage your complex world.
R&D And Pre-Clinical
Creating SOPs, deploying networks, evaluating environmental systems, and purchasing lab equipment- these are just a few of the hurdles that biotech start-ups face. Your team should be able to focus on their science - not tech problems.
Clinical Trials
Without the right technology and systems, you risk compromising not only your valuable research, but also the Personally Identifiable Information (PII) of your patients. Let a company that understands Clinical trial processes and the risks they represent safeguard your data.
Manufacturing
We understand highly specialized industrial environments such as cleanrooms and manufacturing floors. We also understand the important role technology plays in GMP compliance. Born out of the engineering industry, InfoPathways handles IT in any complex environment.

Navigating Complex Environments
In the biotech environment, downtime is extremely costly. In data driven industries such a pharmaceutical research, IT infrastructure needs to work 24/7 so scientists and researchers can do their jobs whether working at the office or remotely. Data collection, file sharing, and collaboration need to happen all while maintaining compliance with regulatory and security standards.
The standardization of technology is critical to your success. Standardization does not always mean modernization. We understand that the use of legacy devices is common in laboratory environments, and we understand how to secure them.
Beyond just lab machines, many of our biotech clients have other unique needs such as computers and other hardware for high containment areas that require durable equipment which can withstand regular cleaning or wireless networking equipment with enough signal strength to penetrate reinforced walls. InfoPathways also implements tools for communication such as state of the art video conferencing systems, allowing you to collaborate with team members and industry partners around the globe.
Navigating Complex Environments
We deploy unique IT systems and hardware that efficiently operate specialized environments such as vivariums, cleanrooms, or laboratories of any biosafety level (BSL). Learn more about our technology solutions for biotech clients.
Learn MoreNetwork Design/Implementation
InfoPathways’ networking expertise also comes from extensive experience working in facilities such as laboratories, cleanrooms, and factories. Technology found in complex facilities like these generally requires a different approach from a typical IT environment. Equipment in these types of environments may be highly specialized, costly or unique, which frequently its lifecycle. InfoPathways’ engineers segment networks to treat these machines differently, allowing legacy devices to be used without jeopardizing the security of the network and connected systems.
Network Design/Implementation
Effective IT means not sacrificing functionality for security. We understand how to evaluate systems for compliance and security while considering how this affects your ability to work. We also segment specialty systems and guest devices from the rest of the network, allowing for traffic to flow while your data assets remain secure.
Learn MoreData Management
Maintaining data integrity should not have to be a challenge for your team. Cloud migration and the implementation of consistent hardware across an organization simplify file sharing and versioning controls.
The ultimate goal is to make your data not just secure, but also organized and trustworthy. In the biotech startup environment, data is your value proposition. Without proper data management data can be unreliable, leaving your team frustrated and unable to verify the success of their research.
Data Management
As data moves through a chain of people and processes, poor data integrity can render it useless. This can leave your team frustrated and your research unusable. InfoPathways ensures your data is managed correctly, and that the right people have access to the right information when they need it.
Learn MoreProactive Cybersecurity
Aside from the costly fines or ransoms associated with a breach, critical business system downtime and compromised access to sensitive and regulated data can result in a significant negative impact on productivity. Additionally, the loss of confidence from the public and business stakeholders that comes with a breach is particularly detrimental to start ups that rely on debt financing
InfoPathways secures biotech companies of all sizes against cyberattacks with several independent layers of security controls so that if one fails, another will be operative. Our holistic approach focuses employee training, policy creation, auditing, and nonstop monitoring. Our cybersecurity architecture is designed with the user in mind. As Allies and Advocates for HumanIT, we consider it our job to maintain the ideal balance between security and functionality.
Proactive Cybersecurity
InfoPathways deploys an arsenal of cybersecurity tools geared toward the life sciences industry which secure proprietary company data, laboratory instrumentation and building systems. We tailored our approach to integrate your extensive regulatory requirements and combat the high likelihood of international threats prevalent in the industry.
Learn MoreBridging Technology & Compliance
Regulatory compliance is not just the burden of just one department, all relevant staff should understand their role. Our experience with regulatory bodies such as the FDA or NIH allows us to have a more developed understanding of the part we play.
Bridging Technology & Compliance
Validation Engineering and IT don’t typically coincide. InfoPathways understands the overlap between Compliance and the Technology needed to support it. We collaborate with QA, QC, and validation professionals to ensure you meet or exceed whatever standards are required.

Cybersecurity Challenges
The pharmaceutical (pharma) industry is home to some of the most sensitive data and highly valuable technology, making it a major target for cyber criminals. Cybersecurity in the pharma industry is at risk as organizations host sensitive information about patients, patented drugs, clinical trials, research projects, and advances in technology.
