ED76 and DO200A in my experience ensure the integrity not the veracity of the data. Therefore for a company route, the data would still have to be ensured by the operator. As for the terrain data it comes from a government authorised source. The procedures, to my eye, allow an operator to use processed databases without having to independently verify them.

Thanks 212man, I'll be interested whether the "company route" in the FMS made use of altitude constraints even if it was only a reminder on the control and display unit.
