Technical Questions
FieldGuardian™ works with any web-based system, including but not limited to:
- ServiceNow
- Veeva QualityDocs
- Oracle SCM
- TrackWise
- MasterControl
- Custom or homegrown LIMS and QMS systems
Our combination of DOM analysis and OCR technology ensures compatibility with virtually any browser-based form system, regardless of its underlying technology or age.
Our extension uses a multi-layered approach to identify compliance-related form fields:
- DOM Analysis: First, we scan the Document Object Model for text areas and input fields with labels suggestive of quality documentation (e.g., "Root Cause," "Corrective Action," etc.).
- Pattern Recognition: We identify common form patterns used in ServiceNow, Veeva, and other QMS systems.
- OCR Fallback: For legacy systems or unusual interfaces, we use optical character recognition to identify form fields visually.
This approach ensures reliable field detection across a wide range of platforms without requiring custom configuration.
We implement industry-leading security measures:
- Client-Side Encryption: All text is encrypted with WebCrypto API before transmission.
- PII Detection: Automatic identification and masking of personally identifiable information.
- No Data Retention: All analysis payloads are purged within 10 seconds of processing.
- "No Training" Flag: We use OpenAI's "no training" policy to ensure your data never contributes to model training.
- SOC 2 Type II Compliance: Our infrastructure and processes are independently verified.
For Enterprise customers, our on-premises solution offers complete data isolation within your own environment.
