Computerized systems are central to quality, compliance, and operational efficiency across Life sciences organizations. We often see validation efforts focus solely on system implementation, leaving gaps in ongoing maintenance, updates, and inspection readiness. A lifecycle-oriented approach to CSV ensures systems remain compliant, reliable, and aligned with regulatory expectations throughout their operational life.
BioBoston Consulting provides audit-informed CSV support across the entire system lifecycle from requirements definition and design through validation, deployment, and ongoing maintenance.
Requirements Definition and System Design
A robust validation lifecycle begins with clear requirements and design aligned to risk and regulatory expectations. We support organizations in defining system specifications and assessing risk early.
Our approach includes:
- Risk-based internal audits of system requirements and design outputs
- Alignment with GAMP 5 principles and FDA, EMA, ICH expectations
- Integration of supplier and vendor inputs to ensure GxP compliance
- Early identification of high-impact processes for targeted validation
We often see downstream audit findings minimized when requirements are thoroughly defined and reviewed.
Validation and Deployment
Validation ensures systems operate as intended and meet compliance requirements. BioBoston Consulting provides audit-driven validation support to confirm system readiness for production and clinical use.
Our validation approach includes:
- Execution of risk-based test protocols across manufacturing, laboratory, clinical, and QMS systems
- Verification of data integrity, electronic records, and workflow controls
- Supplier and vendor system audits to confirm compliance for third-party systems
- Documentation of validation findings and CAPA integration for corrective actions
This strengthens both regulatory confidence and operational reliability.
Ongoing System Maintenance and Audit Support
Compliance is not static. Lifecycle oriented CSV includes ongoing monitoring, maintenance, and audit coverage to maintain inspection readiness.
Our maintenance support includes:
- Periodic internal audits to assess system performance, data integrity, and regulatory compliance
- Validation updates for system changes, upgrades, and patches
- CAPA management for audit findings and continuous improvement
- Training and coaching to sustain user competency and regulatory awareness
We frequently see inspection readiness improve when lifecycle CSV programs integrate audits and maintenance as continuous activities.
