MSB Docs wins California CRO Major as client for Digital Smart Document Compliance
Nov 01, 2022
United States, November 1 (ANI/NewsVoir): MSB Docs, the leading global disrupter in enterprise-grade customised eSignature and Smart Document Compliance solutions, today announced the successful implementation of its solutions at a California CRO organisation.
The organisation is a contract research organization (CRO) providing Biostatistics, Data Management and SAS Programming to pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries worldwide.
With these customer wins, MSB Docs further strengthens its dominance of the pharma and CRO sector for eSignatures & Digital Smart Document compliance solutions. MSB Docs already works with 8 out of the leading 10 Pharma organisations globally.
Highlighting the business differentiation, Srini Dokka, Global Sales Head, MSB Docs, said, "MSB Docs' robust 21 CFR Part 11 contracts compliance capability was key to winning the mandate. Life Sciences manufacturers need to adhere to strict guidelines laid out by governing bodies, including the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) since pharmaceutical products and medical devices directly influence the health and safety of the customer."
The FDA set up 21 CFR Part 11 compliance as a more comprehensive code of regulations to govern the Pharmaceuticals and Life Sciences industry. 21 CFR Part 11 describes Part 11 of Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations on electronic records and electronic signatures as stated by the United States FDA. The term "Part 11" applies to documents in digital form that are created, customized, maintained, archived, recovered, transferred, or submitted under any record requirements stated by the FDA regulations/predicate policies. Besides digital records, this code also incorporates images, audio files, source code, and videos. Eventually, 21 CFR Part 11 allows suppliers in the life sciences industry to avoid a lot of complex paperwork management.
FDA allows the use of electronic signatures in place of wet ink signatures on paper records to ensure that a business can be carried out electronically. eSignatures must consist of the following to be compliant:
Every eSignature must be unique for an individual and shall not be reused or reassigned to another individual.
The signer's identity must be validated before establishing, assigning, certifying, or approving their electronic signature or any element of such eSignature.
Individuals using eSignatures must, upon company demand, provide additional certification or testimony that a particular electronic signature is the lawfully binding equivalent of the signer's wet or handwritten signature.
Electronic signatures must use a minimum of two unique IDs, such as an identification code and a password, if not based on biometrics.
Uniqueness must be maintained for each combined identification code and password, and no two signers must have the same identification code and password combination.
The system needs protection for every transaction to avoid unauthorized usage of passwords or ID codes and to promptly detect and report any attempts at their unauthorized use.
Included within MSB's Digital Smart Document Solutions are hybrid signature solutions in the form of digital and electronic signatures. In addition, MSB provides region-specific signature modules. For instance, business entities in India can get an Aadhaar-based signature solution with MSB Docs.

Furthermore, there is a proprietary search algorithm in place for seamless identity and background verification, which comes handy in functions such as onboarding a new client.
