Compliance
Information on how Comala Document Management can assist you with Part 11 compliance, is available in our compliance statement for FDA Title 21 CFR Part 11.
This compliance statement was originally designed for our Confluence server and data center apps. However, many of the elements for 21 CFR Part 11 translates to Confluence Cloud with Comala Document Management solution (e-signatures).
In regard to the Atlassian Confluence Cloud environment, you will need to have a controlled environment and a working environment to help satisfy 21 CFR Part 11. To help meet this we recommend the use of our Comala Publishing app together with the Comala Document Management Cloud app.
Once pages in a space have gone through the review and approval process provided by the Comala Document Management workflow, the Comala Publishing app can be used to automatically publish and sync the approved content to another target space for your published pages. In this published space, users will have view-only rights to the published pages.
