since 2011

A Voltn client since 2011, Biotrial stores and shares its clinical data with complete security. With 100% French hosting, security certifications, and full traceability of exchanges, the platform supports daily studies conducted in France, the United States, Australia, and Japan. Its integration with Biotrial's business tools automates data flows and streamlines collaboration on international clinical trials.

Challenge #1: Deploying a sovereign, certified, and 100% secure solution

Secure access to sensitive data on a global scale

Over the last three months, more than 500 internal and external users have exchanged data via Voltn as part of clinical studies conducted in France, the United States, Australia, and Japan.

The platform has become an essential tool, particularly for the Core Lab department, which manages critical physiological data such as electrocardiograms.

Sovereign hosting with HDS certification

The research organization chose 100% French hosting that complies with the strict requirements of health authorities. HDS (Health Data Hosting) certified across all six required scopes, Voltn guarantees rigorous and secure management of medical documents. Our Tier 3+ and Tier 4 compliant data centers ensure optimal availability and reliability.

Granular management of security measures

With such a high volume of connections, Biotrial needed a tool offering enhanced security. The password or SMS code file protection and the ability to set an expiration date ensure that only authorized recipients can access files, within a controlled timeframe.

The two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security : it strengthens protection against unauthorized access and ensures complete connection traceability. Finally, granular access rights management compartmentalizes information across different sites and multiple clinical studies, while providing an overview for Biotrial teams.

Challenge #2: seamless integration with business processes

Adapting to business tools via API

Voltn also meets Biotrial's needs for integration with internal applications through dedicated APIs. These allow for the automatic transfer of critical data from business applications directly into the platform, ensuring a high level of operational efficiency.

A complete ecosystem compatible with internal applications

Voltn also offers connectors and applications — Outlook, Teams, and Google connectors, Voltn Drive, network drive — to provide smoother interconnection with collaborative tools.

Biotrial now has comprehensive tools for fast, unlimited file sharing. Coupled with the notification system, the entire setup offers smooth process tracking and improves collaboration between different users.

How does Biotrial use Voltn for document management?

Control of confidential exchanges

By replacing unprotected email exchanges, Voltn allows files to be sent via secure links, configurable according to specific criteria: automatic expiration, single download, or password protection. Thanks to data encryption, every transmission is protected against intrusion, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.

Advanced access management and enhanced traceability

Each file can be secured with a password or SMS code, with time-limited access. Two-factor authentication further strengthens document protection. Granular access rights management allows for data compartmentalization between different clinical studies, ensuring information integrity.

Every action is tracked through detailed event logs, providing full visibility into file views and shares.

Seamless and efficient collaboration between sites

Voltn enables Biotrial's teams and partners to collaborate in real time on medical files, with the ability to securely edit and share documents. Integration with business tools facilitates interaction between various clinical research stakeholders, optimizes team coordination, and reduces data management errors.

With Voltn, Biotrial benefits from controlled document management, a high level of security, and simplified collaboration across its international ecosystem.
