FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance dictates that those companies who use electronic systems for document and signature control must provide assurance that the electronic documents are authentic. The regulations all stipulate the necessity of the confidentiality of electronic records.

MasterControl addresses these needs with various levels of security (i.e, double-passwords) and the right to allow system administrators to stipulate user permissions to the system, to document collaborations, to document vaults and even to specified documents.

FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance dictates that all system users have the training necessary to perform their assigned tasks and projects.

MasterControl makes training easy by streamlining the delivery of training tasks, the delivery of online training exams, the grading of exams, training follow-ups, escalations and training reports.

FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance dictates that electronic records that are signed must contain a name, the signature meaning and the date/time of signing.

MasterControl provides fields for this required data and for additional data if so required.

FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance dictates that signatures whether electronic or handwritten be linked to their respective records.

MasterControl automatically links signatures to records and does not allow the link to be tampered with afterward to ensure FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.

21 CFR compliance dictates that an FDA-regulated company's electronic system must be validated according to the FDA's validation standards.

MasterControl provides a host of ways to make validation twice as simple as it would otherwise be. MasterControl provides a validation toolkit, validation documentation, validation consultation and full-scale validation services.
