BACKGROUND:
The pharmaceutical industry represents the fastest growing sector of the manufacturing industry. The competition in the market is fierce from both rival companies and counterfeiters, increasing the need for proper data protection. Intellectual property is the lifeblood of a pharmaceutical company. Being first to market with a new drug can significantly impact a company's business. Beyond the business benefits are regulations requiring data protection that also impact the pharmaceutical market. Regulations such as HIPAA pertain to personal heath data on such as patient records used and collected during clinical trials. Regulation 21 CFR part 11 requires specific access controls and audit trails be used to assure the accuracy and protection of electronic records submitted to the FDA.
