Representing LIMS Security with SOC 2 Type 2 Seal

Multi-Layered LIMS Cloud Security

Wavefront LIMS incorporates multiple layers of security designed to help protect laboratory information throughout its lifecycle. Hosted on Microsoft Azure, the platform combines enterprise cloud infrastructure with security features that support secure, reliable laboratory operations.

Encryption

Wavefront LIMS helps protect laboratory data through encryption both at rest and in transit, supporting secure storage and communication of laboratory information.

Multi-Factor Authentication

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) provides an additional layer of protection by requiring users to verify their identity before accessing the system.

Continuous Monitoring

Ongoing monitoring and platform updates help maintain a secure cloud environment and reduce exposure to emerging threats.

Access Control Lists (ACLs)

Configurable access controls allow organizations to manage user permissions based on roles and responsibilities, helping ensure users have access only to the information needed for their work.

Regular Backups

Routine backups help support business continuity and disaster recovery by protecting laboratory information against unexpected events.

Audit Records

Audit records provide visibility into system activity, supporting traceability, quality management, and operational accountability.

Why Wavefront Uses Microsoft Azure

Wavefront LIMS is a cloud-based LIMS hosted on the Microsoft Azure cloud platform, providing secure, scalable, and reliable infrastructure for laboratories.

Microsoft Azure offers enterprise cloud capabilities that support high availability, data protection, and business continuity. Combined with Wavefront’s application security practices, Azure provides a dependable hosting environment for organizations managing critical laboratory information.

This combination helps laboratories reduce IT infrastructure management while providing secure, scalable access to laboratory information.
