How ESignM – Electronic Signature Management Software by goPLIMS delivers two-factor authentication, uniquely watermarked control copies, and a fully tamper-evident audit trail — all within one integrated, 21 CFR Part 11 compliant platform.

Electronic Signature Management

In regulated industries, a signature is not just an approval — it is a legal and compliance record. Paper-based sign-offs, unverified email approvals, and disconnected external tools create traceability gaps that are difficult and costly to close. ESignM by goPLIMS replaces all of that with a single, integrated platform that combines document management, uniquely watermarked control copies, and two-factor authenticated electronic signatures — built specifically to meet 21 CFR Part 11 requirements.

What is ESignM?

ESignM is a comprehensive, cloud-based electronic signature management platform that combines document management, unique control copy generation, and two-factor electronic signatures in a single integrated system. Built to meet 21 CFR Part 11 compliance requirements, ESignM gives organisations a secure, verifiable, and fully auditable framework for digital approvals — eliminating the need for multiple external tools.

From initiation through to final signed closure, ESignM maintains complete traceability and regulatory integrity. Internal users authenticate via username/password and a goPLIMS app-based OTP. External stakeholders — clients, vendors, and partners — sign securely via an email link and a custom one-time password, with no platform account required.

Built for Regulated Compliance

ESignM is purpose-built to satisfy 21 CFR Part 11 electronic signature and audit trail requirements — delivering the documentation integrity that pharma, life sciences, and regulated industries demand.

What You Can Do with ESignM

ESignM consolidates everything your team needs for compliant digital approvals — from control copy generation to authenticated signature routing — into one integrated workflow.

Watermarked Control Copies

Generate uniquely watermarked control copies of documents with the initiator’s identity embedded — creating a verifiable, tamper-evident record for every approval.

Internal & External Signature Routing

Route documents for electronic signature to both internal team members and external stakeholders — with sequenced, role-based approval workflows for every document.

Two-Factor Authentication

Enforce two-factor authentication for every signer — internal users via app-based OTP, external signatories via secure email link and custom one-time password.

Real-Time Approval Tracking

Track the live status of all approvals, signatures, and control copies centrally — with full visibility of who has signed, who is pending, and what is outstanding.

Two-Factor Authentication & Watermarked Control Copies

ESignM’s most powerful and distinctive capability is its dual-layer security model — combining unique control copy generation with robust two-factor authentication for every signatory, regardless of their location or organisation. Two independent security mechanisms working together — for complete identity assurance on every signature.

Two-Factor Authentication

Internal users: username/password + goPLIMS app-based OTP for every signature action

Two-Factor Authentication

External stakeholders: secure email link + custom one-time password — no platform account needed

Two-Factor Authentication

Every signer identity is positively verified before any signature is accepted

Two-Factor Authentication

All authentication events are automatically logged to the tamper-evident audit trail

Watermarked Control Copies

Each control copy is uniquely watermarked with the initiator’s identity embedded directly into the document

Watermarked Control Copies

All control copies and signed records stored in secure, access-restricted folders

Watermarked Control Copies

Complete, tamper-evident log of all signatures, approvals, and document versions

Watermarked Control Copies

Audit-ready records available for regulatory inspection at any moment

No more paper-based sign-offs. No unverified approvals. No compliance gaps.
