IT Services For Pharma Organizations In DC Don’t Settle for Mediocre IT Support!
Your Pharma Organization doesn’t run on good wishes and happy thoughts. Your internal processes run on hard data.
But what happens if your data isn’t supported by a highly effective IT environment?
Without proper management, maintenance, and operational/security monitoring, the systems of a Washington DC pharmaceutical company like yours can become sluggish or even cause unexpected and unwanted costly downtime.
What’s the solution?
Leverage Managed IT Services From A DC-Based IT Support Company Like Intelice.
Managed IT Services deliver the tailored, continuous IT support and services your organization needs to use your IT systems to get work done – instead of worrying about them and working on them.

Microsoft Office 365 Migrations

Competent IT Services For Pharma Organizations In DC Know How To Handle Compliance Issues.
HIPAA – The set of laws known as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act was put in place by US Congress in 1996. Along with other provisions, HIPAA was intended to ensure that private medical information used by medical professionals and businesses with access to Electronic Personal Health Information was confidentially utilized, stored, transferred, and secured.
Pharma organizations must ensure that they deal with any personal health information in accordance with the specifications laid out in the legislation — including data utilized in a study or trial in which Personally Identifiable Information is accessed, utilized, transferred, or stored.
Intelice technicians work with healthcare companies on a daily basis and understand the complexities of adhering to HIPAA requirements. We will ensure that your company is compliant with the Act and is able to undergo an HHS audit if necessary.
PCI DSS – The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard is a set of rules ensuring that companies accepting credit card payments do so without compromising client information. In the beginning, credit card companies such as Visa, American Express, JCB, and Discover got together to set up an independent third party to build these rules and oversee their enforcement.
Today, any organization that has any access to the data of cardholders – pretty much every company that does business – is subject to PCI DSS compliance. The particulars of PCI DSS compliance are available on the website of the PCI Security Standards Council.
The level of scrutiny for your organization under PCI DSS is dependent upon the size of your organization and the dollar-value volume of credit card transactions accepted by your organization.
Intelice works with our clients to help them meet guidelines and validate, if required, annually.
GDPR – General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR applies to any organization doing business in or with people living in the European Union or Great Britain. This legislation was ratified in April of 2016 in the EU and covers:
- Requirements to notify individuals that their information is being collected.
- Requirements to obtain consent to the collection of information or the use of information.
- Requirements to notify individuals if the information collected is breached.
- Requirements to appoint data protection officers within the organization.
- Requirements surrounding the right to be forgotten – data deletion.
- Requirements surrounding data portability.
These six brief overview bullet points are only the tip of the GDPR iceberg. If your organization does business with or utilizes data originating in the EU, it’s important that you meet the standard level of data protection imposed on EU companies by GDPR. Intelice technicians are intimately familiar with this process and can ensure that you are meeting the GDPR threshold to do business in the EU.
FINRA – FINRA isn’t a government agency. Instead, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority is a non-profit organization that Congress has authorized to set up rules that safeguard America’s investors. Because pharma organizations in DC are often either publicly traded or accountable to private investors, it’s essential that Intelice IT consultants do due diligence to ensure that the data protection provisions of FINRA are observed in the organization.
