Advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) tech- nologies have dramatically increased the amount of data generated, creating challenges in data analysis and interpretation. Illumina Connected Analytics (ICA) is a secure genomic data platform to operationalize informatics and drive scientific insights. ICA provides an extensible platform with a rich set of RESTful application program in- terfaces (APIs) and a command-line interface (CLI) tool to maximize workflow efficiency.
The platform was developed in accordance with the requirements of the applicable local and global regulations and standards. Combining a sophis- ticated genomics data platform with validated third-party verified-security enables ICA to meet stringent security requirements of customers who work with sensitive information such as patient-derived genomics data. This document details how ICA was developed in accordance with security requirements and those of applicable data protection laws and regulations.
