Computer System Compliance

Part 11 and Annex 11 contain very specific functional requirements for regulated systems. ProPharma’s consultants work with your technical experts to determine the specific system configurations needed for compliance. When systems require customization, they review the designs to ensure that the end-result will be compliant from the first release.

IT Process Compliance

Regulations require procedures and controls for GxP systems, such as back-up, disaster recovery, security, access management, risk assessment and management, change control, validation, issue management, and record retention. ProPharma’s consultants not only develop the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to meet regulatory requirements and incorporate industry-standard practices, but also ensure that the SOPs are tailored to your organization’s roles and responsibilities, technologies, and QMS infrastructure.
