Third-party systems, including those provided by suppliers and vendors, are increasingly critical to Life sciences operations. We often see compliance risks arise when these systems are not properly validated or continuously monitored. Without structured oversight, audit findings and regulatory observations can emerge unexpectedly during inspections.
BioBoston Consulting helps organizations implement structured CSV oversight for supplier and vendor systems, integrating audit-driven strategies to maintain compliance, data integrity, and inspection readiness.
Establishing Risk-Based Oversight
Supplier and vendor systems vary in complexity and regulatory impact. We support organizations in prioritizing risk and defining validation strategies that are tailored to each system.
Our oversight approach includes:
- Risk assessment of third-party systems affecting GMP, GLP, and GCP processes
- Supplier and vendor audits to confirm system validation, data integrity, and compliance
- Integration of audit findings into CAPA and continuous monitoring plans
- Alignment with FDA, EMA, and ICH regulatory expectations
We often see audit-informed risk assessments reduce exposure and strengthen inspection readiness.
Validating and Monitoring Supplier Systems
Validation extends beyond initial system qualification. BioBoston Consulting ensures that supplier and vendor systems are validated and maintained throughout their lifecycle.
Our validation and monitoring support includes:
- Review and verification of vendor validation documentation and evidence
- System-level audits to confirm compliance with GxP standards
- Ongoing oversight for updates, patches, and configuration changes
- CAPA integration for issues identified during audits or regulatory reviews
This structured approach ensures third-party systems operate reliably and remain inspection ready.
Integrating Oversight Into Lifecycle CSV
Continuous oversight is key to reducing inspection risk. BioBoston Consulting helps organizations embed structured CSV oversight into lifecycle management.
Our lifecycle support includes:
- Periodic internal audits and follow-up audits to verify compliance and performance
- Training and guidance for internal teams managing supplier systems
- Documentation of oversight activities to demonstrate regulatory compliance
- Integration of audit findings and CAPA into overall QMS and supplier management programs
We frequently see organizations reduce repeat audit findings and strengthen supplier reliability when oversight is structured and systematic.
