Secure research data sharing

Secure research data sharing you can take back

Partnering and in-licensing both involve letting someone outside your company read confidential work for a while. Molecule Labs shares confidential files only with named members, encrypts them before they leave your device, and lets you revoke access at any time.

What a collaborator sees

Role-based access means you can choose who sees what

A Viewer can open your confidential files but can’t change them or give anyone else access, and their access ends when you say. You don’t need to choose between security and collaboration: you can have both.
What a Viewer and a visitor can open: J. Moreau, a Viewer until 6 January, opens the lab's public record, public files and confidential files; a visitor with no role opens the public record and public files, not confidential files.

How a collaborator gets in, and out

Role-based access with time limits

01

Decide what they need to do

Read-only if they only need to look, including at confidential files. Contributor if they need to add work of their own.

02

Grant it with an end date

When you grant access you can add time limits. Nobody has to remember to clean up after the project ends.

03

They open what they were given

Access is re-checked on each open. Decryption of the file happens every time.

04

You take it back when it is over

Revoking ends access going forward. What they contributed stays part of the Lab's record.

What makes secure research data sharing different from a private link

Most tools protect the transfer but can't assure time-boxed access. Instead of running down legacy links, Molecule Labs can control access from one portal.

Confidential files are encrypted before they leave the device

A confidential file is unreadable before it travels. What reaches storage is already locked, so a readable copy never sits on our servers.

Access is named, not a link

People are granted access as members with a role. There is no link that works for whoever happens to hold it, and a Viewer can't pass access on to anyone else.

Permissions end

A permission can carry an end date, and it can be revoked before then. Access is checked each time a file is opened rather than at the moment it was shared.

Every share leaves a record

Who was given access, at what level, and when it ended are all part of the Lab's history. When a team member asks who else has seen this, the answer is retrievable rather than remembered.

Add, remove and modify roles at any time

Access shared with a reviewer until 6 January and a funder until 31 December, and a collaborator's access taken back today.

Diligence without handing over the company

A partner reviewing your work needs to read a specific set of files for a specific window. That is a role and an end date, not a copy of the drive. The same Lab serves the everyday work and the review, so nothing has to be assembled into a separate folder and then forgotten.

Confidential and public in one place

Molecule Labs keeps public and private files in the same place, with permissions determining who sees what. You can build a full picture of the work, with a timeline and track record.

Questions about our secure research data sharing

Two things. A confidential file is encrypted before it leaves the device, so an unprotected copy never sits on a server. And access is granted to named members with a role rather than to anyone holding a link, so it can be checked on every open and ended when you choose.
