Digital Signatures Built to Comply with FDA 21 CFR Part 11
PharmaDoX gives life-sciences teams cryptographically secure, tamper-evident signatures with permanent legal evidence – engineered from the ground up to satisfy 21 CFR Part 11 for clinical, quality, and regulatory records.
Every control the regulation expects – built in, not bolted on
PharmaDoX maps directly to the technical requirements of Part 11, so electronic signatures are as trustworthy and enforceable as handwritten ones in FDA-regulated processes.
Signer Authentication
Signers are positively authenticated before they can access or sign a record – satisfying Part 11's identity-verification and access-control requirements.
Integrity & Security
Each signature is cryptographically bound to the document with PKI, so any unauthorized change after signing is immediately detectable.
Comprehensive Audit Trails
Time-stamped, computer-generated audit trails capture every relevant action – sending, viewing, signing – and cannot be altered or obscured.
Non-Repudiation
Once applied, signatures and their meaning, signer, and timestamp cannot be repudiated – meeting FDA expectations for enforceable electronic records.
Long-Term Validation
Signatures carry their own permanent legal evidence and remain independently verifiable for decades – without depending on SIGNiX's continued existence.
Accurate Record Copies
Generate complete, human-readable copies of records and their audit trails for FDA inspection – in both display and portable formats.
A compliant signing flow, start to evidence
Prepare the record
Upload the protocol, batch record, or SOP and place signature, initial, and date fields with required signing reasons.
SOPs · protocols · batch recordsAuthenticate the signer
Signers verify identity via credentials and a second factor before any signature can be applied to the record.
Multi-factor identity checkSign with meaning
Each signature captures the signer, timestamp, and the regulated reason for signing, then is cryptographically bound to the document.
Reason + PKI bindingSeal & preserve evidence
A tamper-evident seal and full audit trail are embedded, producing a permanently verifiable record ready for inspection.
Tamper-evident sealEvidence an inspector can trust
Every action on a record is captured in an immutable, time-stamped audit trail – independently verifiable long after signing, with no reliance on a vendor portal.
