WHEN CLIENTS ENGAGE US

Digital-quality support when system risk must become controlled evidence.

Engagements may begin with a new GxP system, automation project, legacy-system remediation, data-integrity concern or lifecycle review where validation evidence and control need strengthening.

01

New GxP systems & automation

Establish intended use, GxP impact, validation strategy, requirements, supplier evidence and risk-based test scope before release.

02

Legacy CSV remediation

Reconstruct lifecycle evidence, assess gaps and prioritise remediation where validation packages are incomplete, inconsistent or outdated.

03

Data integrity & audit-trail concerns

Review access, roles, electronic records, audit trails, review practices and procedural controls supporting reliable GxP data.

04

Migration, upgrades & periodic review

Assess lifecycle changes, migration risk, backup/restore evidence and continued validated state before or after significant system change.

WHAT WE CAN SUPPORT

Digital quality built around intended use, risk and data integrity.

Support is tailored to your site, system, product context, risk profile and internal quality procedures.

Computerized-system assurance should be proportionate to intended use and GxP risk. Validation effort needs to focus on functions that can affect patient safety, product quality, data integrity and the reliability of regulated records.

We support lifecycle governance from system inventory and requirements through supplier evidence, testing, access and audit-trail controls, migration, release and periodic review.

01

Computerized System Inventory & GxP Impact Assessment

Risk-based system inventory and GxP impact assessment to determine validation, data-integrity and lifecycle controls.

02

Validation Planning

Validation strategy and planning based on intended use, system risk, supplier evidence and applicable requirements.

03

User Requirements & Traceability

Risk-focused user requirements and end-to-end traceability from intended use through testing and release evidence.

04

Supplier Assessment

Supplier and service-provider assessment covering quality systems, SDLC, support, security and relevant compliance evidence.

05

Risk Assessment

Documented assessment focused on patient safety, product quality, data integrity and intended use.

06

Test-Script & Evidence Review

Review of test design, expected results, deviations and objective evidence for adequacy and traceability.

07

Access & Audit-Trail Control Review

Review of user roles, privileged access, segregation, audit-trail configuration and review expectations.

08

Data Migration & Backup/Restore Test Planning

Risk-based planning for migration verification, backup/restore testing, reconciliation and supporting evidence.

09

Periodic Review

Periodic review of validated state, changes, incidents, access, audit trails, performance and supplier status.

10

GAMP 5 / Part 11 / Annex 11 Alignment

Assessment and validation approach aligned, as applicable, with GAMP 5, FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and EU GMP Annex 11.

DIGITAL VALIDATION LIFECYCLE

From intended use to continued validated state.

Digital validation is strongest when requirements, risk, supplier evidence, testing and operational controls remain connected throughout the system lifecycle.

01

Define intended use

Establish business purpose, users, records, interfaces, process context and functions that support regulated activity.

02

Assess GxP impact

Determine whether the system can affect patient safety, product quality, data integrity or regulated records and decisions.

03

Risk & criticality

Focus assurance effort on critical functions, failure scenarios, controls and data with the greatest GxP significance.

04

Requirements & traceability

Define risk-focused user requirements and connect critical requirements to specifications, controls and verification evidence.

05

Supplier & design evidence

Assess supplier capability and determine which existing development, configuration and test evidence can be leveraged appropriately.

06

Test & challenge

Verify critical functions and controls using proportionate testing, objective evidence, deviation management and traceable results.

07

Release & operate

Confirm validation evidence, access controls, procedures, training, backup, support and residual actions before operational release.

08

Maintain & review

Preserve the validated state through change control, incident review, access governance, periodic review and supplier oversight.

PROJECT QUESTIONS

Planning a CSV or digital-quality review.

Which systems can be considered for a scoped CSV review?

Start with the system’s intended use, GxP impact, configuration, interfaces, supplier support and lifecycle stage. Suitability for an engagement is assessed against the system and the evidence available, rather than assumed from a software name alone.

Can validation support be delivered remotely?

Planning, requirements, risk assessments, traceability, supplier evidence and test-document review can be supported remotely. System access, execution responsibilities, data protection and any site-dependent activities must be agreed with the client’s authorised teams.

What should we send before sharing system records?

Provide a high-level description of the system, business process, project stage, users and main concerns. Avoid sending credentials, production data or confidential records through the general enquiry form. Detailed evidence can follow after access and confidentiality arrangements are agreed.
