With the Lifebit Platform you can leverage our Trusted Data Lakehouse for the fastest creation and management of data products in the industry, which provides:

• Specialized management of multi-modal health data
• Unified data catalog to view, search, track, and assess all data in one place
• AI-automated harmonization to OMOP standards
• EHR data fetching & management

With Lifebit, you enable self-serve data access at scale. The platform enables various user types to get to results quickly and easily - meaning more research can be done over your data in parallel. The platform requires no ongoing maintenance or any DevOps personnel to operate, significantly reducing your operational costs while maximizing efficiency. Further, unlike traditional software platforms, you get to use your own cloud infrastructure, leveraging your existing preferential cloud discounts and avoiding cloud storage and compute cost being marked up like more traditional platforms do.

Lifebit uses enterprise-grade federated architecture that meets the highest global security standards, including FedRamp, GDPR, HIPAA, ISO, and SOC I & II. We also implement the Five Safes Framework to ensure data residency and control over who can access sensitive health data. Our system ensures that data is never moved or exposed, offering full control over export with our Airlock technology, safeguarding against unauthorized access or breaches.

Lifebit accelerates program delivery by providing a scalable, ready-to-deploy Trusted Research Environment (TRE) and Trusted Data Lakehouse that integrate seamlessly with your existing infrastructure. By eliminating the need for in-house development and ongoing maintenance, we reduce time and cost overruns often seen with large-scale IT projects. Our self-service platform minimizes operational overhead and allows users of any technical level to efficiently manage data, ensuring programs are delivered on schedule and within budget.

Traditional bioinformatic platforms have and manage their own cloud tenancy. This means they own their AWS, Azure or GCP cloud accounts and your data has to be transferred to those accounts where it is exposed to a shared tenancy model with other companies. This means 1) you lose control over your data, 2) you lose data-residency, 3) you have to buy the cloud storage & compute cost at inflated, marked-up prices from these vendors and 4) if you want to change vendors you are subject to expensive egress charges.
Lifebit’s federated Platform-as-a-Service (FedPaaS) deployment means both the data and the computation always remain in your own cloud tenancy and cloud account - without it being shared with others. This means 1) you retain total control over your data, 2) data stays in your country and your organization’s infrastructure, 3) you benefit from the lowest possible cloud cost and can leverage special pricing with the cloud providers and 4) if your relationship with Lifebit were to end there is zero cost and no need for egress costs as the data always remains in your own environment.

Yes, you retain full control of your data and how it is used. With Lifebit’s federated Trusted Research Environment approach to data access, your data remains within your own environment and only administrators in your organization can control who can access the data and which part of the data they can see. In multi-party federation, anyone who needs access to the data will need to be authenticated in each node following an IRB approval and this will be authorized by your data administrators. Access is granted on a need-to-know basis and strictly monitored to ensure compliance with data protection standards.

No, Lifebit does not have any rights over the use of your data without express permission from your organization. Lifebit provides the technology that enables the management and processing of the data but does not own the data or have rights to use it independently.

Lifebit partners with AWS, Azure & GCP to support cloud storage for our clients. These providers are architected to be the most secure cloud computing environment available today. Its infrastructure is built to satisfy the security requirements for hospitals, the military, global banks, and other high-sensitivity organizations. Data stored in the cloud is protected using advanced security measures, including encryption of data at rest and in transit, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and continuous monitoring by cybersecurity personnel. Additionally, these cloud providers offer robust security features and compliance certifications to ensure the highest level of data protection.
