What each package includes

Remote vendor assessment
Is this supplier suitable for GxP use? We review their quality system, development and testing evidence, security and support arrangements. You receive a written report with findings, a suitability rating and the questions to put to the vendor. EU GMP Annex 11 says the need for a supplier audit should be based on a risk assessment, and this package gives you that assessment on paper.
Data integrity assessment
One computerised system assessed against the ALCOA+ principles (attributable, legible, contemporaneous, original, accurate, plus complete, consistent, enduring and available) and current regulator guidance. You receive findings and an action list ready to feed your corrective and preventive action (CAPA) process. A process that spans several systems is quoted separately.
Pre-inspection readiness review
A document-based review of your CSV, data integrity and Part 11 evidence ahead of an MHRA, FDA or PIC/S inspection, followed by a mock inspection question-and-answer session by video. You receive a ranked list of gaps. It prepares you; it does not guarantee how an inspection will go.

What remote can and cannot do

Document review, structured questionnaires and video interviews keep costs down, and the start date is agreed with you when we agree the scope. Remote review has limits. PIC/S guidance (PI 041-1) notes that desktop inspections are normally limited to an assessment of data governance systems, and that on-site assessment is normally needed to verify data. If your situation needs a site audit, you arrange a local auditor, or the audit falls outside the scope of these packages.

Remote test execution needs secure access to your system, so it is not a fixed-price package. Once access terms are agreed we can quote it by the day.
