Expanding on Box + USDM Cloud Assurance
Offered with Box, USDM Cloud Assurance accelerates initial validation and generates a leverageable annual vendor audit. The USDM automated testing tool (ATT) replaces manual operational qualification (OQ) and provides ongoing regression testing of core requirements.
To keep you continuously compliant, Cloud Assurance tracks, assesses, and reports on Box updates and daily system functionality testing. It also executes automated testing scripts after every release and enhancement—not just at implementation. Cloud Assurance Premium adds customer-specific use case testing after every update.
To ensure a complete testing package, the Box ATT and USDM ATT each cover about 40% of Box core GxP requirements testing, and the remaining 20% of requirements are tested by both of us.
