Lasso DataShare

Flexible, Secure Access Management for Data Governance at Scale

The Lasso DataShare Platform enables studies, institutions, and consortia to manage how users gain access to research data through a centralized, secure, and auditable workflow. Whether you're working with a single administrator or a multi-step committee-based governance model, Lasso supports a configurable experience that meets your study’s needs.

Choose the Access Path That Matches Your Oversight Model

Option 1: Admin-Approved Access
Included with Lasso DataShare (Standard)

Users request access via Lasso’s login page

Study administrators receive notifications and can approve or deny access

No additional documentation or Data Use Agreement required

Ideal for internal teams or low-risk datasets

Option 2: Data Use Agreement (DUA) Workflow
Premium Add-On: Lasso DUA Workflow

Users log in and complete a study-configured Data Use Agreement (DUA) form

Once submitted, designated Study Administrators review and approve

All DUA responses are archived and time-stamped for compliance

Ideal for studies that require individualized accountability per user

Option 3: Principal Investiagor (PI) & Subapplicant Workflow
Premium Add-On: Lasso PI Dashboard

Principal Investigators (PIs) initiate a DUA on behalf of their lab or project

PI can invite subapplicants (co-investigators, students, analysts, etc.)

All collaborators are listed under the parent application

PIs can add/remove applications and manage their team via a dedicated dashboard

Study Administrators approve the application as a unit or by individual

Ideal for multi-institution collaborations, academic consortia, or clinical networks

Option 4: Data Use Committee (DUC) Voting
Premium Governance Add-On: Lasso DUC Voting Module

Enables formal committee-based review of access requests submitted via Option 2 or 3

Voting members log in, view applicant details and responses, and cast votes

Support for:

• Single or multiple rounds of review
• Comments and decision tracking
• Automated approval threshold workflows (e.g. majority, unanimous)

All actions are time-stamped and logged for governance audits

Ideal for studies with formal governance boards or data access review committees

Lasso Public Study Dashboards

Showcase your study’s scope, participant demographics, and data availability — without exposing sensitive information.

The Lasso Public Study Dashboards module allows studies to publish curated, read-only dashboards that give prospective users a high-level view of what’s in the dataset before they apply for access.

These dashboards drive transparency, support data discoverability, and reduce administrative burden by setting clear expectations upfront.

What the Dashboards Show

High-Level Participant Demographics

• Age and sex distribution
• Racial and ethnic representation
• Enrollment by site or country (optional)
• Participant Education
• Participant Income
• Participant type (e.g., proband, sibling, control)

Measure Administration by Visit

• What assessments were collected at each timepoint (e.g., Baseline, 6M, 1Y)
• Per-visit completion rates by instrument or domain
• Visuals for instrument frequency, modality coverage, or protocol adherence

Visit Protocol Overview

• Protocol elements across time and study sites
• Links to public-facing protocol documents (optional)
• Visualization of changes across study waves or cohorts

Key Features

Configurable Dashboards

Tailored to your study’s structure, modalities, and visit design

Auto-Refreshing

Dashboards update as new data is published to Lasso

Safe Aggregation

All data shown at cohort or aggregate level, no identifiable info exposed

Embeddable

Dashboards can be embedded in study websites or linked from access platforms

Public or Controlled Access

Optionally restricted to certain groups or made fully public

Ideal For

Studies that want to drive visibility and applications

Repositories managing multiple study datasets

Funders or consortia requiring open data discoverability

Teams who want to cut down on DUA rejections or misaligned requests

Premium Add-On: Lasso Access Control Layer

Fine-tune user access across your study with policy-level control over what users can access, where they can access it from, and how data can be used or exported.

Key Capabilities

Modality-Based Access Control

• Restrict access to specific data types (e.g., imaging, EEG, survey, biosamples)
• Use case: A genetics subteam can access biospecimen data, but not imaging data

Country-Level Access Permissions

• Automatically enforce restrictions based on user’s institution or citizenship
• Use case: Ensure compliance with data localization rules or international agreements

Site-Level Scoping

• Limit users to only view/download data from specific collection sites or institutions
• Use case: A site PI can only access data their own team submitted

Data Egress Restrictions

• Designate certain users or roles as “view-only” or “analysis-only”
• Prevent export, download, or sandbox use of sensitive datasets
• Use case: Regulatory or early-stage collaborators are allowed to analyze data within Lasso but cannot download raw files
