Computer System Validation (CSV) Services for FDA 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance

In the highly regulated life sciences and biopharma industries, ensuring compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 is essential for maintaining data integrity and electronic record-keeping standards. Computer System Validation (CSV) is a key process that verifies if a computer system performs its intended functions within regulatory requirements. At BioBoston Consulting, we offer comprehensive CSV services to help organizations meet FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance and ensure seamless, audit-ready operations.

What is Computer System Validation (CSV)?

CSV is a structured process to ensure that a computer system consistently operates according to its intended purpose while meeting regulatory and business requirements. It involves:

• Validating the system’s functionality
• Ensuring compliance with GxP (Good Laboratory, Manufacturing, and Clinical Practices)
• Verifying system security, integrity, and accessibility of electronic records

In the context of FDA 21 CFR Part 11, CSV ensures that electronic records, signatures, and systems meet the FDA’s stringent standards for reliability and security.

Why CSV is Critical for FDA 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance

FDA 21 CFR Part 11 sets guidelines for electronic records and signatures, ensuring they are trustworthy, accurate, and secure. Compliance is necessary for any company that uses electronic systems to manage data related to drug manufacturing, clinical trials, or laboratory research.

Key areas of 21 CFR Part 11 compliance include:

• Validation of computer systems to ensure data integrity
• Access control mechanisms to protect electronic records
• Secure, traceable electronic signatures
• System audit trails to track changes and user activity

BioBoston Consulting helps clients navigate these requirements, ensuring their systems meet both FDA guidelines and industry best practices.
