Week 1: System Inventory & Document Collection

We work with your team to create a comprehensive inventory of all GxP computerized systems across your organization. This includes commercial, quality, manufacturing, laboratory, and clinical systems.

We collect existing validation documentation, SOPs, and system documentation to understand your current state.

Week 2: Gap Analysis & Risk Assessment

Each system is evaluated against FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11 requirements. Systems are classified according to GAMP 5 software categories to determine appropriate validation rigor.

We identify specific documentation gaps, process deficiencies, and compliance risks for each system.

Week 3: Roadmap Development & Executive Readout

We create a prioritized validation backlog based on risk, audit likelihood, and business criticality. Each remediation activity includes rough order of magnitude (ROM) estimates for time and cost.

The final deliverable includes an executive summary suitable for leadership, board members, or audit committees.
