Security Issues

STABILITY SYSTEM provides many outstanding security features:

The security is critically related to the 21 CFR Part 11 regulation. Please also refer to point-by-point comments by ScienTek Software, Inc.

Feature  Description 
Secured login Each user needs a login name and a password to login. The password is managed by each user and can be changed at any time or forced by the system based on user-specified time threshold. Both login name and password cannot be recycled and used. 
Security levels Each user account is associated with a security level which controls the extent each user can use STABILITY SYSTEM. 
Audit trail An always-on audit trail facility keeps track of editing activities.  
Multiple levels of data checking Edit the holding file access rights for entering, checking, and approving data in the holding file. A user must be authorized to
  1. enter new stability data
  2. check data
  3. approve and merge holding data.
For a secured environment, you can force different users to enter data, check, and approve the same data. 
Encrypted database To increase security, the STABILITY SYSTEM database is encrypted. 
Program idle time logout Increase security by tracking the program idle time. The current login user must login again once the user-specified time threshold is exceeded.
Restrict editing functions to users with high-level security Increase security by restricting certain editing functions to users with high-level security. 
Specify minimum number of characters for passwords The password can have a maximum of twelve (12) characters. You can specify the minimum number of characters required for passwords.
Notify designated users for all failed login activities Designated users can be notified for all failed login activities. All login and logout activities, including failed login activities, are tracked by the audit trail facility. 
Reset password System administrator can reset the password, while keeping all other user account information, for a user who forgets the password so the user can enter another new password. 
Block functions not to be used To increase security, the user can block those functions in STABILITY SYSTEM not to be used.
