Bx and 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance


Life sciences organizations face challenges such as disrupted clinical studies, growing competition, increased regulation, and increased manufacturing and distribution efficiency. Box can support 21 CFR Part 11 compliance for both electronic records and electronic signatures, providing a single platform for managing regulated and non-regulated content. Box can boost productivity and speed up R&D by converting manual, paper-based processes to digital document workflows. Box has a comprehensive set of over 400 security controls, known as the Common Control Framework, used to assess Box against information security standards and certifications. Box can be configured to help maintain 21 CFR Part 11 compliance for electronic records by enabling a combination of data management features. Box GxP Validation package provides support for 21 CFR Part 11 compliance, in line with FDA's Computer Software Assurance (CSA) guidance and a regular testing strategy.
