In the Life sciences industry, computerized systems used in manufacturing, laboratory, or clinical operations must comply with GxP regulations, FDA standards, and industry best practices.
The GAMP 5 framework provides a risk-based, structured approach for computer system validation (CSV), ensuring systems are fit-for-purpose, compliant, and audit-ready.
Failing to align CSV with GAMP 5 can result in audit findings, 483 observations, regulatory delays, and operational inefficiencies.
BioBoston Consulting provides end-to-end GAMP 5-aligned CSV services, combining audits, validation, and regulatory guidance to help Life sciences, Biotech, and Medical device companies remain fully compliant.
A Real Scenario: When CSV Isn’t GAMP 5-Aligned
A mid-sized Biotech company implemented a new electronic batch record system without following a structured GAMP 5 approach:
- Validation activities were inconsistent and lacked risk-based prioritization
- Documentation for IQ/OQ/PQ testing was incomplete
- Internal audits were not designed to capture GAMP 5 compliance gaps
- CAPAs for system deviations were partially executed
During a regulatory inspection, these gaps led to observations, delaying approvals and requiring remediation.
The lesson: GAMP 5-aligned CSV, integrated with audits and compliance checks, ensures systems are defensible and inspection ready.
Why GAMP 5-Aligned CSV Services Matter
GAMP 5 provides a risk-based, scalable framework for CSV, ensuring:
- Audit Ready Documentation: Comprehensive IQ, OQ, PQ, and validation records
- System Testing & Verification: Ensuring systems perform reliably in GxP environments
- Internal and Mock Audits: Identify compliance gaps proactively
- Change Control & CAPA Management: Effective handling of deviations
- Data Integrity Assurance: Compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and GxP standards
- Team Training & Regulatory Coaching: Prepare teams to respond confidently to inspections
Companies using GAMP 5 aligned CSV reduce regulatory risk, operational delays, and compliance failures.
