Patent number: 10694330Abstract: Allowing access to regulated content (e.g., FDA regulated) via mobile devices can increase operational efficiency of companies that have this type of content, and allow users to quickly interact with this content even when outside of the company office. Yet, mobile devices present security issues in ensuring that the integrity of the regulated content is maintained. A regulated content management system applies a multi-step validation and authentication process to allow mobile access to regulated content. The system validates a mobile application installed on the device for regulated content access, the mobile device itself, and the credentials of the user trying to access the content before access is granted. This thus provides users with access to regulated content in a mobile environment while maintaining the integrity of the regulated content.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2017Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: Metadata Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Kevin Anthony Barrett, Patrick Michael Pollard, Patrick Roberts, Martin Frid-Nielsen
