Online Computer System Validation (CSV/CSA) Course: Navigating Changing Landscapes - 21 CFR Part 11, Data Integrity/Privacy Compliance for FDA-Regulated Systems

DUBLIN, Oct. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Computer System Validation (CSV/CSA), 21 CFR Part 11, Data Integrity/Privacy Compliance for FDA-Regulated Systems" training has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

In today's fast-evolving technological landscape, organizations face the imperative to reevaluate their business models. What were once structured and predictable operations are now characterized by complexity and unpredictability. Patients and customers are more informed and hold higher expectations than ever before. As such, work practices and tools must adapt to meet these evolving challenges head-on.

Join us for an insightful webinar that explores the shifting paradigms of software development, validation, and system maintenance in a continuously changing environment. This session will offer a comprehensive comparison of agile and waterfall methodologies, highlighting their respective advantages and disadvantages. Recognizing that a one-size-fits-all approach may not be suitable, this webinar will guide you in making informed decisions when choosing the right methodology.

Additionally, we will delve into the world of Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) solutions, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and cloud services, uncovering the benefits and risks associated with each model. Throughout the discussion on hardware and software options, we will emphasize best practices for aligning with FDA requirements for validation, including compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 and data integrity standards.

This session will also shed light on the FDA's current areas of concern and how to ensure that your systems meet their expectations.

Key Takeaways:

• Learn how to leverage modern technology while remaining compliant with FDA regulations for computer systems and data.
• Explore the modernization of the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) with an agile approach, in alignment with FDA's draft guidance for Computer Software Assurance (CSA).
• Understand the pros and cons of different validation approaches and industry best practices for success.
• Gain insights into validating systems to meet 21 CFR Part 11 and data integrity compliance.
• Navigate the complexities of compliance with data privacy laws, including HIPAA, GDPR, and other privacy regulations.
