RoadmapPlanned for future release

Ready Today

Core compliance features that are fully implemented and production-ready

Bi-directional Traceability

Ready

Link requirements to tests, FMEA, and design elements with full upstream/downstream navigation

Complete Audit Trail

Ready

Every change tracked with timestamp, user, and reason. Immutable history for regulatory evidence

DFMEA/PFMEA Support

Ready

Full AIAG/VDA FMEA with structure tree, RPN calculation, and action tracking

Version Control & Baselines

Ready

Create baselines, compare versions, and maintain complete change history

Role-Based Access Control

Ready

Granular permissions with Row-Level Security at the database level

Requirement-to-FMEA Linking

Ready

Connect every safety requirement directly to its failure mode analysis

Electronic Signatures (21 CFR Part 11)

Ready

FDA-compliant digital signatures with re-authentication, document hash verification, and full audit trail for approvals, reviews, and verifications

Multi-level Requirement Hierarchy

Ready

5-level hierarchical requirements (System, Subsystem, Component, Design, Verification) with parent-child traceability across all levels

Now Available

FDA 21 CFR Part 11 Electronic Signatures

Full electronic signature capability for regulated industries. Sign FMEA analyses, requirement baselines, test reports, and documents with complete traceability.

Re-authentication

Password verification required at time of signing. MFA support included.

Document Integrity

SHA-256 hash verification ensures documents haven't been altered after signing.

Full Audit Trail

Every signature recorded with timestamp, user, IP address, and signing meaning.

Signature Meanings

Approved, Reviewed, Verified, or Rejected — each signature carries explicit intent.

Partially Implemented

Features that work today with enhancements planned

Safety Classification Tracking

Partial

ASIL/DAL/SIL classification via custom fields. Auto-propagation on roadmap.

Today: Manual assignment via custom attributes
Planned: Automatic inheritance through requirement hierarchy

Compliance Reports

Partial

Traceability, coverage, and compliance reports with export.

Today: Traceability matrix, coverage analysis, and compliance mapping reports with CSV export
Planned: Pre-built DO-178C, ISO 26262, IEC 62304 report templates

Automotive SPICE (ASPICE) Process Support

Partial

Process evidence for ASPICE assessments including ENG.1 through ENG.6, MAN.3, and SUP.8.

Today: Bi-directional traceability (ENG.4), change management with audit trail (SUP.10), FMEA risk analysis (ENG.5), requirement baselines (MAN.3), test case management and linking (ENG.6)
Planned: Automated ASPICE process assessment evidence collection, gap analysis reports, and process maturity scoring

What This Means for You

Great Fit Today

  • Teams needing requirements traceability and FMEA in one platform
  • FDA-regulated teams needing 21 CFR Part 11 electronic signatures
  • Automotive teams preparing for ASPICE assessments (ENG.4, ENG.5, ENG.6, SUP.10)
  • Organizations building safety-critical systems with limited budgets
  • Startups establishing compliance processes early
  • Tier 2/3 suppliers who can't afford DOORS pricing

Wait For These Features

  • DO-178C document templates and TQL-5 package
  • Automatic ASIL/DAL inheritance through hierarchy
  • Safety case export in GSN/CAE format
  • SOUP management for IEC 62304
