Cybersecurity & IT Solutions for Life Sciences
Biotech firms, contract labs, and research organizations hold something most SMBs do not: intellectual property worth more than the company that owns it. Years of research can be copied without leaving a mark.
These organizations also face an investor and partner diligence process where security posture is examined directly. A gap found during diligence costs more than the fix would have.
Bytagig delivers remote-first managed IT and cybersecurity backed by a 24/7 Security Operations Center, with certified field technicians dispatched when you need hands on-site. [WIDGET] Stat bar: copy from the Bend city page.

Requirements Life Sciences Organizations Actually Deal With
Which apply depends on whether you touch patient data, federal funding, or regulated product.
HIPAA, where clinical data is involved
Clinical trials, diagnostics, and any work touching identifiable patient information carry the full Security Rule obligations: encryption, access controls, audit logs, and a documented risk analysis.
FDA 21 CFR Part 11
If your systems hold electronic records or electronic signatures supporting a regulated submission, they need validated access controls, audit trails, and record integrity. We build the IT controls; your quality team owns the validation.
NIST 800-171 for federally funded research
Grant-funded and federally contracted research often carries flow-down cybersecurity requirements that arrive in the award terms rather than in a regulation.
Intellectual property protection
Not a regulation, but the obligation that matters most. Investors, partners, and acquirers will examine how research data is protected, who can reach it, and what the audit trail shows.
Cyber insurance and investor diligence
Both examine MFA, backups, endpoint detection, and access governance. We close the gaps before someone else finds them.
Protecting Research and Keeping Labs Running
Lab environments break the assumptions most IT is built on.
Instrument systems that cannot be patched
Sequencers, analyzers, and imaging systems frequently run unsupported operating systems mandated by the manufacturer. We segment and monitor them rather than breaking your warranty.
Large research datasets
Storage, backup, and recovery designed for datasets that do not fit ordinary backup windows, with tested restores rather than assumed ones.
Collaboration with outside partners
Secure sharing with CROs, academic collaborators, and partners that does not put your whole file store within reach of one shared link.
Access governance
Who reached which dataset, when. The record investors and partners ask about, maintained continuously rather than reconstructed later.
Growth without rework
A lab that doubles headcount in a year should not have to rebuild its IT. We design for the next stage, not just the current one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you support lab instruments running unsupported operating systems?
Yes, and this is common. We isolate those systems on segmented networks with monitoring, so an unpatched instrument cannot become the path into your research data. We do not force changes that void a manufacturer warranty.
Do you handle 21 CFR Part 11 requirements?
We build and document the IT controls that support Part 11: access control, audit trails, and record integrity. System validation itself belongs to your quality function, and we provide the evidence they need.
How do you protect intellectual property?
Access governance with a continuous audit trail, encryption at rest and in transit, segmented storage so no single account reaches everything, and monitoring for unusual data movement.
Can you support secure collaboration with a CRO or academic partner?
Yes. We set up controlled sharing scoped to specific datasets and time windows, with a record of who accessed what.
We are preparing for a funding round. Can you help with diligence?
Yes. We assess against a recognized framework, give you a scored view of where you stand, and prioritize the gaps most likely to surface in diligence.
What does managed IT cost for a life sciences organization?
Organizations typically spend between $125 and $225 per user per month for a fully managed plan, with regulated environments toward the upper range. Call (833) 465-5913 for a specific estimate.
