Data sharing tests ethics, privacy and governance in research. This article explains how regulations like General Data Protection Regulation, Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act require clear purpose, data minimization and proof of compliance. It shows how commercial RDM SaaS platforms embed safeguards, metadata, controlled access and audit trails to reduce risk, support interoperability and stre

Research Data Management (RDM) platforms help researchers manage the full data lifecycle, from collection and documentation to sharing and publication. By supporting FAIR principles, facilitating secure collaboration, and ensuring regulatory compliance, RDM platforms like myLaminin simplify complex workflows, enhance reproducibility, and make research more efficient. Explore how next-generation RDM solutions transform data management for modern research teams.

Non-compliance in research is more than a policy risk, it’s a financial and reputational one. With rising regulatory demands across Canada, the U.S., and Europe, many teams underestimate the true cost of getting it wrong. This article explores the real-world impact of non-compliance, from lost funding to multi-million-dollar fines, and introduces a practical Cost of Non-Compliance Calculator to help assess your risk.

Researchers today must navigate a complex landscape of privacy, security, and compliance requirements. This compliance primer breaks down five key frameworks—HIPAA, PHIPA, PIPEDA, GDPR, and NIST 800-171—highlighting what they cover, how they differ, and why they matter. Learn how consent, data protection, technical security, and cross-border responsibilities intersect, and what research teams need to stay compliant in a global, data-driven environment.
