In the pharmaceutical, biotech, and life sciences industries, strong data governance and integrity controls are essential for regulatory compliance, operational efficiency, and patient safety. Ensuring that data is accurate, complete, consistent, and secure helps organizations maintain audit-ready records and meet FDA, EMA, and GxP standards. BioBoston Consulting provides expert solutions to implement robust data governance frameworks and integrity controls for life sciences organizations.
Understanding Data Governance and Integrity Controls
Data governance refers to the policies, procedures, and systems used to manage and protect organizational data. Integrity controls ensure that all information—whether electronic or paper-based—is trustworthy and complies with 21 CFR Part 11, GxP, and global regulatory standards. Effective governance and control practices allow organizations to:
- Maintain audit-ready documentation
- Reduce regulatory risk and prevent non-compliance
- Ensure accurate and traceable electronic records
- Support operational efficiency and quality assurance
