Elucigene Diagnostics
Elucigene’s Data Security: From Spreadsheets to Compliance
YourGene (formerly Elucigene), a molecular diagnostics company, was on the path to ISO 27001 certification when an auditor flagged a critical issue—their entire data management system relied on spreadsheets. With no audit trails, no error validation, and no structured access controls, their workflow did not meet compliance standards.
Without a rapid solution, they risked failing certification, disrupting operations, and jeopardising their ability to serve the healthcare sector. To eliminate compliance risks and transform their data management process, they turned to Full Metal Software to develop a bespoke web application.
From Compliance Risk to a Secure, Scalable System
Elucigene’s spreadsheet-based workflow lacked security, traceability, and efficiency. With over 50 spreadsheets in constant use, tracking data changes was impossible, errors went unnoticed, and information could easily be lost or overwritten. The company needed a centralised, audit-ready platform to guarantee data integrity while improving day-to-day efficiency.
Full Metal Software’s Custom Web Application
Full Metal Software designed and built a secure, compliant web application to replace Elucigene’s outdated spreadsheet system.
- First, the team mapped out the 50+ spreadsheets, analysing dependencies, workflows, and compliance gaps. This ensured the new platform captured every required function while eliminating inefficiencies.
- Next, Full Metal Software developed a structured, audit-ready database that provided complete visibility into data changes, error validation, and role-based access controls—meeting all ISO 27001 requirements.
- Finally, the new system automated processes, improved data security, and ensured seamless user adoption, making compliance a built-in feature rather than an afterthought.
The Results: ISO Compliance and a Future-Proofed Platform
Before Full Metal Software, Elucigene faced compliance failures, high error risks, and slow manual workflows. After implementation:
- Achieved full ISO 27001 compliance with an audit-ready system.
- Eliminated reliance on spreadsheets, improving security and efficiency.
- Reduced human errors through built-in validation and automated tracking.
- Ensured long-term cost savings, with the system paying for itself in efficiency gains.
