Regulatory Process Compliance

Is your Organization Compliant? Learn about the different regulatory compliances and how Interfacing can help you.
Compliance Management Services

Process Compliance – whether through government legislation, industry standards & regulations or a company’s own policies – is a prevalent business concern for all organizations. The cost of non-compliance can be both catastrophic and long-standing.

Ignoring compliance can sometimes put your organization at great risk for not adhering to the law. The risk for reputation damages and the financial implications are important. Complying with regulation, legislation and policies can be a difficult task and managers need the right tools to ensure the organization is compliant.

A Solution Designed for the needs of Modern Industry

Companies implementing compliance have partnered with Interfacing to deploy workflow solutions involving management and automation of point-to-point business processes. This includes health sciences (including patient-related), manufacturing, administrative, financial and  industry processes for example.
Interfacing’s process optimization & automation, SOP documentation digitalization and proactive regulatory vigilance solution, Enterprise Process Center© Suite has brought about significant time savings with accelerated approval & validation, improved visibility and operational improvements for customers including the following:

End-to-end alignment – Single Source of Truth

The EPC allows your organization to easily align departments, regulations, procedures, controls, within a single repository to enable quick and standardized continuous improvements. Our technology allows information fragmenting to build reusable data fragments.

Accelerated approvals and validation

Interfacing EQMS solution delivers sustained time saving by reduced training, updating and re-training time. The integrated approval, review and endorsement workflow also helps streamline the validation of new version of the standard operating procedures (SOPs) through fragmented content review and approval cycles to aid decision-making.

Digital Signature and Multi-Factor Authentication

EPC meets the very stringent requirements associated with compliance for FSA QSR, ISO 9000, ISO 13845, GxP programs for example, and all SOPs and processes are parsed and documented, providing the audit trails meeting compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 Electronic Record and Electronic Signature (ERES) and a host of other regulatory requirements through RSA encryption, vault key story, and multi-factor authentication (MFA)

Improved Speed and Agility

Interfacing’s Enterprise Process Center© Suite is fully mobile and digital, providing your organization with the flexibility of quality documentation readily visible through a variety of means including phone, tablets, graphical and textual to boost employee agility and self-training.

Multi-language support, auto-translation and localized content

Interfacing’s Enterprise Process Center© Suite provides insightful ways to manage global content, whether by automated translation suggestions for all fragments of content, or the ability to collect variance for SOPs by country, region or product-type

Understanding compliance: ISO 9001, ISO 13485, FDA QSR and GxP

We understand that the requirements placed on medical device companies in terms of compliance are very high and that ISO 9000, ISO 13845, FDA QSR and GxP is an essential part of that program. By using our solutions, your company gains the accountability and consistency that will give you a cutting edge over your competition. Our tools ensure full visibility from end-to-end, all the way from the creation and amendment of a regulation to the approval and revision of the content through to the update and retraining of employees for standard operating procedures (SOPs). We see the full lifecycle management as moving parts of a complete ecosystem and that’s why are unique approach that combines regulatory requirements, documents, processes, work instructions, and governance.

ISO 9001

International standard that specifies requirements for a  QMS. It is the most popular standard in the ISO 9000 series and the only standard in the series to which organizations can certify.

First published in 1987 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The current version of ISO 9001 was released in September 2015.

ISO 13485

In short, ISO 13485 is an internationally recognized standard that the following countries have adopted: Europe, Canada, Australia and other markets. Excluding Canada, the application of ISO 13485 is not a requirement but is the de facto standard in use today as a measurement of full QMS compliance set forth on medical device regulations.

US FDA QSR

The US FDA QSR (also known as 21 CFR Part 820) was introduced prior to ISO 13485. All medical device companies in the US are required to meet this standard for national distribution but must comply with both regulations in order to distribute devices internationally. US FDA QSR must also be met by international companies wanting to do business with US customers.

Nuanced QMS

Other countries will have their own criteria to meet nuanced QMS requirements. For example while both Brazil and Japan have their own requirements, they are both based on existing US FDA QSR and ISO 13485 standards. On a positive note, these standards achieve harmonized quality management requirements to meet US, Canadian, European and all other QMS standards in effect.

GxP Compliance

Our approach can help with all regulations and compliances related to pharma production and medical devices (GxP, CFR, GCP, GLP, GMP, HIPAA, ISO9001, medical devices regulations, SOX, BITS, CSA, FDA, FedRAMP, FIPS, FISMA, MHRA, NISP DoD, PCI DSS, SOC 2, U.S. SEC 17a-4 among others).

Manage Content

Manage the individual pieces of information, assign owners, and ensure governance through approval cycles, and change requests.

Digital Signature

We fully support digital signature to ensure that the audit trail of all content is secure, time-stamped, with accurate and complete copies of records available for inspection throughout the retention period.

Ensure Transparency

Full visibility to understand where records are used and their applicability. You can also maintain digital content with clear accountability, including roles and responsibilities.

Conduct Impact Analysis

Analyze your records for downstream impacts, and analyze the potential impacts on policies, SOPs, business units and related records.

Digital SOPs

Generate complete customizable output of processes and related records such as regulations in a ready-to-print and exportable Word format. You no longer need to manage SOP on paper! The digital SOP is in-sync all the time.

Approval and Governance Workflow

Integrated and embedded approval workflows to ensure strict control over the change of your records, including validation of changes, evaluation of impacts and highlighting changes.

Encourage Collaboration

By uniting goals and creating a common framework for your teams, they will be able to cooperate strategically, create change requests, and assign tasks to implementers.
