FmDataGuard 1.1 enhances viewed data logging

WorldSync today released fmDataGuard 1.1, adding new support for logging viewed data as well as SQL query and execution capabilities to the FileMaker-based change logging regulatory compliance software. FmDataGuard 1.1 provides those solutions built with FileMaker Pro software with the technological basis for regulatory audit trail compliance, logs all data changes, and allows for instant data rollback or quick recovery from a crash or corruption, according to WorldSync. A new View option for data logging also gives developers another choice for control over which, and how, events are logged. FmDataGuard 1.1 is priced at $1,250, and requires FileMaker Pro 8.5 or later as well as FileMaker Server 8.0v4.

FmDataGuard 1.1 is also a maintenance release with minor, optional function enhancements and fixes to reported issues. The update is available for free to all registered fmDataGuard customers via the WorldSync website.

"We recently learned HIPAA mandates can be interpreted to require logging when a record is even viewed, irrespective of modification, printing or some other action," said Jason Erickson, president and CEO of WorldSync. "So, we added the logging capability for viewed data straight away. With this addition, we're more confident that fmDataGuard practically meets the technological audit trail regulatory requirements on its own, while simultaneously making it easier to recover from a crash or from errors caused by users."

FmDataGuard is designed to provide complete audit trail capture, with no scripting, layout modifications, or custom development required. fmDataGuard can capture all Add, View, Change and Delete actions to a separate table, keeping a field-level change history. The resultant fmDataGuard log meets the audit log requirements for regulatory mandates such as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, Gramm-Leach-Bliley, and European Union Privacy (Basel II) and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS).
