Biotechnology Council (MassBio®), a not-for-profit organization that
represents and provides services and support for the world’s leading
life sciences supercluster.

“Our membership in MassBio offers CCC the opportunity to further
participate in the growth of the life science ecosystem,” said Jill
Shuman, Director, Product Engagement, CCC. “We look forward to sharing
our expertise in creating copyright compliant content workflow solutions
for organizations within this network of innovative companies.”

community in Massachusetts and we’re thrilled CCC has joined our

thorough audit of a company’s information security management systems
and controls must be conducted by third party auditors in order for
certification to be granted. CCC received certification with “No
Non-Conformities,” the highest standard.

Additionally, CCC completed its SOC 2 (Type 2) audits with “No
Exceptions” (the highest standard), for the second year in a row. CCC
qualified in the initial group of applicants for the EU/US Privacy
