Case Study: Public Research Institute strengthens information governance with FourthLine

Public Research Institute - Customer Case Study

Public Research Institute, a world-leading public research institute, needed to replace its outgoing Head of Information Governance while also appointing a Data Protection Officer. Because it handled highly classified and unusual research data, including patients’ genes and blood types, it needed a specialist with deep information governance experience in clinical trials and research, and turned to FourthLine for recruitment support.

FourthLine carefully reassessed the brief, identifying that the best fit was an information governance specialist from the research sector rather than healthcare. After two offers were declined, FourthLine quickly sourced further suitable candidates and secured a successful placement for the Head of Information Governance, who also took on DPO responsibilities. Public Research Institute later returned to FourthLine to recruit the Information Governance Assurance Manager, demonstrating strong confidence in FourthLine’s service.
