Global clinical trial compliance
Compliance should never feel like a maze. Scout helps you build every part of your clinical trial on trust, security, and clear regulatory alignment. From patient data privacy to meeting reporting rules, we simplify complex requirements into steps your team can follow with confidence.
Life sciences meetings
Compliance that keeps your meetings aligned and audit-ready
Running meetings in a highly regulated environment demands precision. We plan investigator, advisory, and HCP meetings with careful attention to regional reporting rules and transfer-of-value requirements. Our strategic meeting management system connects directly with financial platforms. This ensures accurate data capture, clean documentation, and full visibility for audits.
- Track and report HCP transfers of value with clarity
- Align meeting logistics with FDA, EMA, and local standards
- Maintain clean, consistent documentation from planning through reconciliation
Clinical trial patient services
Compliance built into every step of participant support
Privacy, safety, and documentation matter in every interaction with a participant. Scout’s workflows and policies reflect global clinical trial compliance standards. We help your team prepare accurate informed consent materials. We ensure your documentation aligns with GCP and GDPR. Our secure systems protect participant information while supporting clean monitoring and reporting.
- Build compliant participant-facing materials
- Support adherence to GCP, GDPR, HIPAA, and national privacy laws
- Deliver transparent, transaction-level reporting through the Scout Portal

SOC 2 Type I and Type II compliance
Scout is SOC 2 compliant for both Type I and Type II, confirming that our controls are properly designed and consistently followed over time. Independent audits evaluate how we protect data across security, availability, confidentiality, and privacy criteria.
This reinforces that data protection is embedded in the systems supporting meetings, participant services, and reporting, not treated as a one-time exercise.
ISO/IEC 27001 information security certified
Scout is certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022, the international standard for information security management systems. This certification confirms a structured, risk-based approach to protecting sensitive information across the organization.
It reflects how we assess risk, manage access, document controls, and maintain consistent, auditable security practices as regulations and threats evolve.
EcoVadis sustainability recognition
Scout has earned EcoVadis recognition for our sustainability practices, reflecting our commitment to responsible operations and long-term accountability. EcoVadis evaluates companies across environmental, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement criteria.
This recognition signals that compliance at Scout extends beyond regulatory requirements to how we operate as a global research partner.
Science Based Targets initiative commitments
Scout’s near-term and net-zero emissions reduction commitments have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This approval confirms alignment with current climate science and SBTi criteria for corporate decarbonization.
An approved commitment represents public accountability, not validated or achieved targets. Scout is actively working through the remaining steps required for target validation as part of our long-term sustainability roadmap.
