Validate the Cloud stress-free. The ultimate operational guide for the Pharma world.
The adoption of Cloud and SaaS in the Life Science sector is no longer the future—it is the present. But how do you reconcile innovation and agility with strict FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and EU GMP Annex 11 requirements?
This guide is not the usual theoretical manual. It is a practical working tool, designed for QA Managers, IT Specialists, and Validation Experts who need to implement, validate, and maintain cloud systems in compliance with GxP.
Updated to GAMP 5 Second Edition principles and CSA (Computer Software Assurance) logic, this guide takes you step-by-step from validation strategy all the way to inspection preparation.
