Azure Trusted Research Environment
A Trusted Research Environment (TRE) provides a secure, governed, and controlled environment where sensitive data can be stored, processed and analysed whilst ensuring compliance with data-privacy laws, organisational policies, and regulatory standards.
Organisations across healthcare, life sciences, government and academia increasingly rely on sensitive data to drive decisions, generate insight, and support innovation. Yet most research and analytics environments were never designed for the regulatory, privacy and security demands these organisations now face.
Data is often dispersed across personal laptops, ageing servers, shared network drives and inconsistent cloud setups. This creates exposure to compliance risk, operational inefficiency, and a lack of consistent governance. A core challenge for many businesses becomes how to empower teams to extract value from sensitive data while maintaining the highest standards of trust, security and regulatory assurance.
Why Are TREs Becoming Essential?
A TRE creates a secure, controlled space where sensitive data can be analysed without ever leaving the environment. Instead of distributing data to users and devices, analysis happens entirely inside a locked-down platform built to empower research and analysis and enforce strict governance, auditing and access controls.
A TRE replaces risk and complexity with confidence and control whilst accelerating the time it takes to deliver meaningful analytical outcomes.
This model eliminates many of the traditional barriers to safe data-driven research:
Our Azure TRE Managed Service
Adopting a TRE can transform an organisation’s ability to work securely with sensitive data. Realising its full value, however, requires careful deployment, configuration and ongoing stewardship.
We provide a fully managed, production-ready Azure TRE built on best-practice architecture and operated with the controls, monitoring, and compliance needed to support high-value research.
Platform Management: End-to-end deployment and configuration of your TRE within your Azure tenant, ensuring a resilient, well-architected platform from day one.
Intelligent Monitoring & Incident Response: Real-time platform monitoring with proactive alerting and rapid incident response to keep research environments stable and available.
Tailored Workspace Management: Custom workspace templates designed around your researchers’ tools and organisational requirements, accelerating onboarding and improving usability.
Cost Visibility & Optimisation: Active monitoring of cloud consumption, helping you stay in control of costs and identify optimisation opportunities early.
Continuous Security & Compliance: Regular patching, security updates, and compatibility maintenance to ensure your TRE remains secure, compliant, and fully supported.
