DATA INTEGRITY
Data you can defend.
Scientific decisions are only as good as the data behind them. Bastion Applied Sciences applies data integrity principles across every stage of the scientific lifecycle — from sample intake to final report — so results remain accurate, complete, and defensible under regulatory review.
ALCOA+ PRINCIPLES
Every data point ties to a person, instrument, and moment in time.
Records are readable, permanent, and preserved through their lifecycle.
Captured at the moment of the activity, not reconstructed after the fact.
The first, unaltered capture is preserved; changes are tracked, never overwritten.
Reviewed, verified, and free from errors that would compromise interpretation.
All data, including repeats and metadata, is retained.
Chronological, unambiguous, and aligned across systems.
Retained on durable media for the required lifetime of the record.
Retrievable throughout the retention period for review and inspection.
INTEGRITY CONTROLS
Data integrity treated as a first-class discipline across capture, review, transformation, and reporting.
End-to-end lineage from sample intake through instrument, analyst, method version, and final report.
System-generated, tamper-evident records of who did what, when, and why.
Electronic records and signatures engineered to support 21 CFR Part 11 expectations.
Every derived value can be traced back to its source instrument acquisition and processing steps.
Documented custody transfers from sample receipt through disposition.
Methods, templates, and reports move through controlled versions with formal review.
Documents are approved, distributed, retrieved, and retired under formal control.
Access, backup, restoration, and archival designed for long-term scientific record survival.
References to ALCOA+ and 21 CFR Part 11 describe the principles that guide our data integrity engineering. Any specific regulatory conformance claim is made only where independently assessed.
