Chapter 5. Password Protection and DataGuard

Overview

The Sievers 900 Series of TOC Analyzers offers two levels of security, one included with all Analyzers
and the other available as an optional upgrade from GE Analytical Instruments.
The Password Protection feature is included with all Analyzers and provides a basic level of security.
Password Protection allows for the use of one User ID and Password, which users are required to
enter before starting and stopping analysis or gaining access to menu screens.
The DataGuard feature is available as an upgrade directly from GE Analytical Instruments.
DataGuard encompasses the same functionality as the Password Protection feature, but adds
support for regulation 21 CFR Part 11 by maintaining an audit trail for all user operations and
allows for the use of 100 unique User IDs.
With DataGuard enabled, access is further restricted based on the User Levels assigned by the
administrator. Figure 21 on page 124 lists the minimum User Level required to access each of the
Analyzer's menu screens.
Regardless of which type of security you use with your Analyzer, all security-related settings are
configured on the DataGuard tab.
