We couldn't persist in a paper environment. We were looking for a solution that could cover the pre-award and post-award requirements, and we wanted a system that could do ethics as well.

Frequently asked questions
Ethics compliance software is a type of software or SaaS program that helps organisations ensure that they are adhering to ethical standards and regulations. It typically includes tools for monitoring and managing compliance-related activities, such as policy development, training, incident reporting, and auditing. Ethics compliance software is important because it helps organisations avoid legal and reputational risks, promotes ethical behaviour among employees and stakeholders, and demonstrates their commitment to ethical standards.
Ethics compliance software can help organisations manage risks related to data privacy and cybersecurity in several ways. For example, it can provide tools for tracking and reporting on data privacy compliance activities, such as data inventory and classification, data access and sharing controls, and incident response planning. It can also help organisations stay up to date with evolving cybersecurity threats and regulations, by providing automated risk assessments, vulnerability scans, and threat intelligence feeds. Additionally, many ethics compliance software providers offer built-in data security features, such as encryption, access controls, and secure data storage, to help organisations protect sensitive data and prevent unauthorised access or breaches.
It uses SmartForms, validation rules, structured review stages, meeting tools, decision capture, digital approvals, and automated notifications.
Yes. Workflows, forms, rules, templates, and review steps can be set up and configured to fall in line with your organisation's policies.
All users rely on the system but each group will do so in their own way. Administrators might coordinate workflows or committee members conduct reviews, whilst researchers may submit and track any ongoing applications. Our compliance management solutions are built to provide support to every role.
Utilise interactive dashboards, drill-down reports, scheduled reporting, data exports, and real-time analytics. All of this is available in one ethics compliance software solution.
Implementation is determined by process complexity and configuration needs. Most teams complete rollout through a structured onboarding plan that covers setup, testing, training, and launch.
