BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic brought global disruption to health, society and economy, including to the conduct of clinical research. In the European Union (EU), the legal and ethical framework for research is complex and divergent. Many challenges exist in relation to the interplay of the various applicable rules, particularly with respect to compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This study aimed to gain insights into the experience of key clinical research stakeholders [investigators, ethics committees (ECs), and data protection officers (DPOs)/legal experts working with clinical research sponsors] across the EU and the UK on the main challenges related to data protection in clinical research before and during the pandemic.Materials and methodsThe study consisted of an online survey and follow-up semi-structured interviews. Data collection occurred between April and December 2021. Survey data was analyzed descriptively, and the interviews underwent a framework analysis.Results and conclusionIn total, 191 respondents filled in the survey, of whom fourteen participated in the follow-up interviews. Out of the targeted 28 countries (EU and UK), 25 were represented in the survey. The majority of stakeholders were based in Western Europe. This study empirically elucidated numerous key legal and ethical issues related to GDPR compliance in the context of (cross-border) clinical research. It showed that the lack of legal harmonization remains the biggest challenge in the field, and that it is present not only at the level of the interplay of key EU legislative acts and national implementation of the GDPR, but also when it comes to interpretation at local, regional and institutional levels. Moreover, the role of ECs in data protection was further explored and possible ways forward for its normative delineation were discussed. According to the participants, the pandemic did not bring additional legal challenges. Although practical challenges (for instance, mainly related to the provision of information to patients) were high due to the globally enacted crisis measures, the key problematic issues on (cross-border) health research, interpretations of the legal texts and compliance strategies remained largely the same.

A study conducted among 680 websites in the UK showed that roughly 12 percent of the websites was compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The consent management platforms (CMP) displayed were in most cases not meeting the requirements of the EU law.

Since the enforcement of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in May 2018, fines have been issued for several types of violations. As of February 2025, the most significant share of penalties was due to companies' non-compliance with general data processing principles. This violation has led to over 2.4 billion euros worth of fines.

Between 2018 and 2022, there has been a significant increase in the level of awareness around the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) among European users. In 2018, when the GDPR was first applied, the United Kingdom had the highest level of awareness, with 32 percent of respondents agreeing or strongly agreeing with the statement: "I am aware of the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that will be introduced in May 2018". In 2022, the share of UK respondents agreeing with the statement increased to 73 percent. France had the lowest level of awareness in 2018, 20 percent, whereas in 2022 it reached 47 percent but remained the lowest among other European markets.

The Data Resiliency market is experiencing robust growth, projected to reach $16.65 billion by 2025 and maintain a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 18.5% from 2025 to 2033. This expansion is fueled by several key factors. The increasing frequency and severity of cyberattacks, coupled with stringent data privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA, are driving organizations to prioritize data protection and recovery strategies. The rise of cloud computing, while offering scalability and flexibility, also introduces new vulnerabilities, thus boosting demand for robust data resiliency solutions. Furthermore, the growing adoption of digital transformation initiatives across various industries is generating massive amounts of data, making effective data management and resilience crucial for business continuity. The market is segmented by deployment (on-premises and cloud), with the cloud segment expected to witness faster growth due to its inherent scalability and cost-effectiveness. Competition is intensifying among leading companies, each employing various competitive strategies such as mergers and acquisitions, strategic partnerships, and product innovation to gain market share. North America currently holds a significant market share, driven by early adoption of advanced technologies and stringent regulatory frameworks. However, regions like APAC, particularly China and Japan, are exhibiting rapid growth potential due to increasing digitalization and investment in data infrastructure. The forecast period (2025-2033) presents significant opportunities for vendors offering innovative solutions that address the evolving data protection landscape. These include advanced backup and recovery solutions, data replication technologies, disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS), and robust security measures. While the market faces challenges such as high initial investment costs and complexity in implementing data resiliency strategies, the long-term benefits of preventing data loss and ensuring business continuity far outweigh the costs. The ongoing evolution of data storage technologies, coupled with the increasing sophistication of cyber threats, will continue to shape the market's trajectory, creating a dynamic environment for both established players and emerging companies.
