What Is the Cloud Assurance Certified Program?

USDM Life Sciences, a trusted partner to over 900 life sciences companies globally, has pioneered this certification to help vendors and their customers confidently navigate regulatory complexities. The program assesses, certifies, and maintains the compliance integrity of vendor technologies, ensuring they meet or exceed regulatory demands.

How It Works: A Three-Step Path to Assurance

1. Rigorous Assessment:
   • Vendors undergo a comprehensive evaluation based on USDM’s proprietary Compliance Matrix.
   • This matrix scrutinizes technology against global regulatory frameworks, identifying and remediating GxP gaps.
2. Certification and Reporting:
   • Upon successful remediation, vendors receive a Vendor Assurance Report. This third-party validation saves life sciences organizations significant internal resources by reducing validation efforts and providing credible regulatory evidence.
3. Continuous Compliance:
   • Certified technologies are integrated into the Cloud Assurance continuous compliance subscription, ensuring they stay compliant through regular updates and release management using FDA-endorsed CSA methodologies.
