Federated and Stand-alone Identity Management: Secure Access for Modern Clinical Trials

Managing user identities and access across clinical trial systems is critical to ensuring security, compliance, and operational efficiency. The Federated and Stand-alone Identity Management module in the Diamind Clinical Trials Management Solution (DCTMS) provides a flexible, scalable, and secure platform for managing user authentication and access. Whether integrated with enterprise systems or operating independently, this module ensures that the right people have the right access at the right time.

Key Features

  • Federated Identity Support:
    • Integrate with single sign-on (SSO) systems like SAML, Active Directory or Microsoft Azure for centralized identity management.
    • Enable seamless access across multiple trial platforms using existing organizational credentials.
  • Stand-alone Identity Management:
    • Manage user accounts, roles, and permissions directly within the DCTMS platform.
    • Offer flexible configuration options for smaller organizations or trials without enterprise integrations.
  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC):
    • Define granular permissions for each user role, controlling access to specific modules, sites, or data.
    • Ensure compliance with privacy and security standards by restricting access based on roles.
  • Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA):
    • Add an extra layer of security with MFA options, including SMS, email, or app-based authentication.
  • Audit Trails and Compliance:
    • Maintain detailed logs of login attempts, role changes, and access activities for regulatory audits.
    • Ensure adherence to standards like HIPAA, GDPR, and FDA 21 CFR Part 11.

Description

The Federated and Stand-alone Identity Management module in the Diamind Clinical Trials Management Solution (DCTMS) offers a robust framework for managing user authentication and access across clinical trial systems. Designed to support both federated and stand-alone identity models, this module ensures secure and efficient access control for trials of all sizes. By integrating seamlessly with enterprise systems or operating independently, it provides the flexibility needed to meet the unique requirements of modern clinical research.

For organizations with existing enterprise identity systems, the module supports federated identity through single sign-on (SSO) protocols such as SAML, Active Directory or Microsoft Azure. This allows users to access DCTMS and other integrated platforms using their organizational credentials, simplifying login processes and reducing password management burdens. For smaller organizations or independent trials, the stand-alone identity management functionality offers an easy-to-use solution for creating and managing user accounts, roles, and permissions directly within the platform.

Security is a cornerstone of the module, featuring role-based access control (RBAC) and multi-factor authentication (MFA) to protect sensitive trial data. Comprehensive audit trails track all login attempts, role changes, and access activities, ensuring transparency and compliance with global standards like HIPAA, GDPR, and FDA 21 CFR Part 11. Whether used in a federated or stand-alone configuration, the Identity Management module enhances operational efficiency, streamlines user access, and ensures that clinical trials remain secure and compliant.

How It Works

  1. Federated Identity Integration:
    • Configure SSO to allow users to access DCTMS using their organizational credentials, reducing the need for multiple logins.
  2. Stand-alone User Management:
    • Create and manage user accounts directly in the system, assigning roles and permissions to meet trial-specific needs.
  3. Secure Access:
    • Implement MFA to enhance security and protect sensitive trial data.
  4. Real-Time Monitoring:
    • Use dashboards to track access activities and ensure compliance with security policies.
