Biometrics for login and electronic signature in GxP environments
THE PROBLEM
Insecure processes in critical production areas
Data integrity is a fundamental requirement in GMP-regulated environments. Regulations issued by the FDA, the EMA, and other regulatory bodies include the obligation to unambiguously identify the person responsible for each action.
Passwords are still the predominant method used to access manufacturing systems and as an identifying signature. Employees end up entering them up to 100 times a day, while wearing gloves and on touchscreens. In many cases these passwords differ across various systems, forcing employees to remember around ten separate, complex passwords that must be changed every 45 to 90 days. The inconvenience, combined with forgotten credentials, often leads employees to share them.
CONSEQUENCES OF USING PASSWORDS
Regulatory Non-compliance
Data integrity is compromised whenever an employee signs using another employee’s credentials after forgetting their own.
Unauthorized Access
Unauthorized personnel may operate critical systems using another person’s credentials.
User Discomfort
Employees have to repeatedly enter codes while wearing gloves on touchscreens, often requiring several attempts due to errors, which slows down their work.
Loss of Efficiency
Each employee wastes more than one week per year on daily login and signature processes. IT teams also spend a significant amount of time managing the password system.
THE SOLUTION
Leave passwords behind with Verázial ID
Verázial ID uses the most advanced iris, fingerprint, and facial recognition technologies so that all employees can authenticate themselves for physical and logical access and electronic signatures quickly and with complete security. It is designed with the ergonomic demands of the most challenging cleanrooms environments in mind, where operators work with gloves, masks and protective eyewear.
No more passwords to forget or share, no more discomfort or time wasted. Whether through direct identification by looking at an iris sensor, for example, or by bringing their wrist with the biometrically activated Verázial Band near an NFC reader, employees can access all their manufacturing systems and execute electronic signatures without using passwords and with the highest level of security.
Guaranteed Regulatory Compliance
The electronic signature is linked to the operator with 100% certainty, ensuring full data integrity. Straightforward, risk-free compliance with FDA, EMA and other regulatory bodies.
100% Secure Access
Both to manufacturing systems and physical areas, with total certainty. Prevents delegations or impersonations, since no operator can access with another’s identity.
Easy to use
The operator simply looks at an iris camera or brings their wrist wearing the Verázial Band close to an NFC reader. They are authenticated in 2 seconds, error-free.
Time savings for Operators
Each employee saves more than one week per year on login and signature processes compared with password-based methods.
Time savings for the IT team
No more managing credential lockouts, forgotten passwords or password resets.
Compatible with all systems
Integrates seamlessly with ALL software and systems: MES, EBR, ERP, LIMS, and manufacturing systems of all kinds.
