CSV Gap Assessments and Remediation Planning for Regulated Environments

In regulated life sciences and biopharma environments, ensuring that computer systems are compliant, validated, and audit-ready is critical. Computer System Validation (CSV) gap assessments identify areas of non-compliance or operational risk, while remediation planning provides actionable steps to achieve FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and GxP compliance. BioBoston Consulting offers expert guidance to help organizations systematically assess, remediate, and maintain compliant systems.

Understanding CSV Gap Assessments

A CSV gap assessment is a structured evaluation of existing computerized systems to determine compliance with regulatory requirements. This process:

• Identifies gaps in system validation, documentation, and operational processes
• Highlights risks that could lead to Form 483 observations or regulatory delays
• Prioritizes remediation actions based on risk and regulatory impact

By performing gap assessments, companies gain a clear understanding of their compliance status and can take proactive steps to mitigate risks.

Importance of Remediation Planning

Remediation planning is the process of addressing gaps identified during CSV assessments. A structured plan ensures that corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) are implemented effectively, leading to:

• Enhanced system reliability and audit-readiness
• Compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and GxP standards
• Reduced risk of inspection findings or regulatory enforcement
• Improved operational efficiency and data integrity
