The Entrust's Internet security solutions provide a cohesive security model that comprehensively covers all enterprise security needs. Submitting new drug applications is one of the most mission-critical processes for pharmaceuticals and regulatory agencies. ERP applications enable electronic transactions between internal business units and external supply chain business partners. The focus of 21 CFR Part 11 is to specify the criteria that must be met for the FDA to consider electronic records, electronic signatures and hand written signatures executed to electronic records, as being trustworthy, reliable and generally equivalent to paper records and handwritten signatures on paper. Organizations that implement systems that meet these requirements will be able to use electronic records and electronic signatures and take advantage of the many benefits that accrue from moving to a paperless environment.
Enhanced security plays an important role in mission-critical applications.
By securing confidential data and establishing trust in the identity between communicating parties, the Entrust solution enables the increase in mission-critical transactions across business boundaries. In most cases, the creation, storage and transmission of these documents is inextricably linked to the electronic world. Realizing the importance of managing electronic documents effectively and securely, Entrust has formed a partnership with a leading supplier of enterprise document management products for the pharmaceutical industry. The partnership provides integrity, confidentiality and strong authentication of information as it passes over intranets, extranets and the Internet. Having a secure, reliable and user-friendly remote access solution in place allows pharmaceutical companies with geographically dispersed locations and remote offices, to connect employees, wherever they may be.
