What Is Gap Assessment & Remediation?

One Stop Solution for Life Sciences 

Gap Assessment is the systematic process of evaluating your existing processes, systems, documentation, and practices against regulatory standards (e.g., FDA, EMA, ICH, GMP) to identify compliance deficiencies 
Remediation is the implementation of targeted corrective and preventive actions—such as SOP updates, training programs, CAPA systems, and process improvements—to close these gaps and uphold compliance . 

 

Why It is Crucial for LifeSciences Organizations 

• Avoid Regulatory Risks
  Proactively discovering and closing compliance gaps before regulatory inspections helps prevent FDA 483 observations, warning letters, or enforcement actions  

• Boost Operational Efficiency
  Identifying process bottlenecks and outdated documentation enables streamlined operations, reducing waste and errors  

• Strengthen Quality Systems
  Embedding CAPA and continuous monitoring enhances overall QMS performance, ensuring long-term operational robustness  

• Support Successful Product Development
  Gap remediation ensures your systems are strong prior to critical milestones—such as regulatory submissions or inspections—which reduces delays and risks
