21 CFR Part 11the operating model, not a checkbox.
Other systems bolt Part 11 on top. V5 enforces it at the database layer so application code can never rewrite history.
What changes once 21 CFR Part 11 is live.
Indicative ranges from V5 pilot deployments. Your numbers will land near these once the workflow is operator-led and e-signed at the step.
What changes the day you switch this on.
- Manual, paper-driven, and only audited after the fact.
- Wet-ink signatures collected hours after the work happened.
- Tribal knowledge in spreadsheets and shared drives.
- Re-authentication on signing
- Meaning of signature captured
- Append-only audit trail
What you actually get
Operator-led, e-signed, immutable. Engineered for regulated manufacturers — not retrofitted.
Re-authentication on signing
Every controlled action requires the signer to re-prove identity in the moment.
Meaning of signature captured
‘Approved’, ‘Reviewed’, ‘Witnessed’ — explicit and visible on the record.
Append-only audit trail
Audit triggers fire at the persistence tier; no application path can suppress them.
One operator action — a complete, signed record.
What it leaves behind
- Database-tier audit triggers
- Signed manifest hash
- Operator session re-auth
The clauses this satisfies
What buyers ask before they switch on 21 CFR Part 11.
