Data Integrity and CSV to FDA Audit Standards

Pharmaceutical company with an outdated IT landscape

Outdated IT systems impaired data integrity and computer system validation and led to frequent data deviations.

The challenge

The situation

Outdated IT systems impaired data integrity as well as computer system validation processes and led to frequent data deviations and inefficiencies in validation. The resulting risks for regulatory audits called for a comprehensive intervention.

Our approach

What we delivered

Remediation of the IT infrastructure as the basis for reliable data integrity

Establishing standardised governance for validation and data

Controlled migration of data into the remediated system landscape

The outcome

Results & impact

39% fewer data deviations

Reduction in data deviations through remediated infrastructure and governance.

30% more validation output

Improved output of the validation processes.

FDA audit passed

Successful completion of an FDA audit after the intervention.

In summary

The company has a remediated, consistently governed system landscape with markedly improved data integrity, confirmed by a passed FDA audit.
