Case Study: iSpecimen achieves GDPR compliance and uninterrupted Eurozone service with Advarra

GDPR Implementation Support Moves Research Forward

iSpecimen, creator of the iSpecimen Marketplace that connects life science researchers with human biospecimens worldwide, faced the challenge of implementing the EU’s new GDPR rules without disrupting service to Eurozone customers. They engaged Advarra’s regulatory consulting team to assess their readiness, educate stakeholders on the new compliance landscape, and develop a remediation strategy tailored to their business.

Advarra delivered an executive stakeholder summary, a HIPAA-to-GDPR crosswalk and gap analysis, and recommended revisions to privacy policies, EULAs, and other materials, then helped iSpecimen execute the plan. As a result, iSpecimen continued worldwide operations with no service interruption, maintained a GDPR-compliant commitment to data protection, and is prepared to meet applicable legal requirements — all achieved with Advarra’s guidance.
