Are Your Digital Systems Truly Audit-Ready?
Many life sciences organizations face operational and compliance risks as stated below when digital systems are not fully validated:
- Systems leaving data integrity at risk
- Audit or inspection findings on system compliance gaps
- Misalignment between IT, QA, and regulatory teams on validation
- Delays in batch releases or clinical decisions due to unverified systems
- Uncertainty about FDA 21 CFR Part 11 or EU Annex 11 compliance
If these challenges resonate, BioBoston Consulting’s CSV services ensure your systems operate reliably, securely, and inspection ready.
What is Computer System Validation (CSV)?
CSV is the structured, risk-based process that ensures your digital systems perform as intended, data is accurate, and operations comply with regulatory expectations.
It goes beyond documentation covering lifecycle validation from implementation to decommissioning, and addressing operational, quality, and compliance risks.
Why CSV Matters for Life Sciences
- Regulatory Confidence
Demonstrates GxP compliance and adherence to 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11, giving regulators confidence in your operations. - Data Integrity & Security
Ensures patient records, lab results, and quality data are accurate, traceable, and defensible. - Operational Risk Reduction
Identifies potential system failures before they disrupt operations, minimizing errors, downtime, and compliance issues. - Audit-Ready Systems
Complete IQ/OQ/PQ protocols, lifecycle documentation, and validation reports ensure inspection readiness.
