Actual exam question for Salesforce's ALS-Con-201 exam
Question #: 109
Topic #: 1
Choose 1 option.
Cumulus Pharma is implementing a feature where Healthcare Providers (HCPs) sign for drug samples on an iPad. The company's compliance team states that, to meet Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 21 CFR Part 11 requirements, a simple image of the signature is insufficient; the system must link the signature to the data and the user's credentials at the exact moment of signing.
Which feature generates this tamper-evident audit trail?

Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer

Digital Verification is the correct answer because Salesforce Life Sciences resources describe it as the native capability used to manage electronic signatures in Salesforce and support an organization's 21 CFR Part 11 compliance requirements. Salesforce Help states that Electronic Signatures can be set up using the Digital Verifications feature, allowing signatures to be managed in Salesforce instead of relying on a third-party application. It also references creating a "signature trail," which is the key concept in this question: the signature is not just a stored image, but part of a controlled verification process tied to the signed record and signer context.
Field Audit Trail is not the best answer because it tracks field history and retention for data changes; it does not provide the electronic-signature process required for HCP sample acknowledgments. Adobe Sign is also not the best answer because the question asks for the Salesforce Life Sciences feature that generates the audit trail inside the Life Sciences process. The Salesforce Developer Guide also identifies Digital Verification standard objects as part of the electronic-signature data model, reinforcing that Digital Verification is the Life Sciences capability designed for this use case.
