IT Risk and Control in Regulated Environments

The Life Sciences industry is one of the most regulated industries in the world, and is subject to regulation by different government agencies. Pharmaceutical, biotechnology, clinical research, medical device and healthcare companies are required to meet relevant GxP requirements for their business operations which involves well-trained personnel. In order to be compliant with the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOx) Act, all US publicly held companies must establish internal controls and procedures for financial reporting to reduce the possibility of corporate fraud.

As such, personnel working in regulated organizations should be skilled in quality and risk management and computerized system validation activities to ensure these organizations are in compliance with pertinent regulatory requirements. CTG can provide training to your employees to ensure they are appropriately trained and have adequate skills and experience to perform their assigned duties.
