Validation & Evidence

GxP Data Integrity Across the Computerised Record Lifecycle

Preserve GxP data integrity by controlling the complete record and its context from initial observation or creation through entry, processing, review, reporting, transfer, correction, retention and authorised destruction. Define the authoritative record, capture attributable and contemporaneous metadata, validate every consequential transformation and interface, preserve original or verified true-copy evidence, make corrections transparent, reconcile hybrid and connected-system paths, and prove that the record remains complete, readable, retrievable and interpretable for its required lifetime.

Operational Ownership

Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery for GxP Computerised Systems

A GxP continuity design must keep the regulated process and its records controlled while technology is unavailable, not merely restore servers. Define critical decisions and dependencies, justified recovery-time and data-loss tolerances, backup and recovery architecture, supplier responsibilities, approved manual or alternate modes, incident authority and communication; test realistic failures; then verify the recovered configuration, reconcile records and backlogs, assess affected decisions and obtain accountable return-to-service approval.

Operational Ownership

Master and Reference Data Governance Across GxP Systems

Govern GxP master and reference data as shared regulated dependencies: define each domain and value unambiguously, assign field-level authority plus accountable ownership and stewardship, use stable identifiers and effective dates, control creation through retirement, distribute versioned changes through defined interfaces, reconcile every consumer, validate consequential rules and mappings, preserve audit evidence, and manage local variants, mergers, suppliers and migrations without silently changing the meaning of historical records.
