Caris Life Sciences Case Study on Apono Implementation

This case study outlines how Caris Life Sciences utilized Apono’s Cloud Access Security platform to enhance secure access to sensitive health data. Operating under strict HIPAA regulations, Caris faced challenges in managing access to resources containing Protected Health Information (PHI). The implementation of Apono allowed Caris to develop Access Flow policies that provided Just-in-Time access to individual S3 folders, ensuring precise control over who could access specific resources. This approach significantly reduced the time researchers waited for access, improving overall efficiency. The integration of Apono into Caris’ existing processes minimized the need for additional manpower while maintaining strong access controls. The case study also highlights the outcomes of faster approvals through delegation and automation, which streamlined the access management process. Caris is now evaluating further use of Apono’s automated approval access flows to enhance their software development provisioning process.
