Successful validation of Calibo’s GxP compatibility by top auditing firm

In a market that’s continuously adapting to more rigorous regulatory standards, companies within various sectors (such as life sciences, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical devices, healthcare, food and beverage, cosmetics and agriculture) are rigorously working to uphold stringent compliance measures.  

Adherence to protocols such as Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), and Good Clinical Practice (GCP) – collectively termed GxP – is indispensable.  

This is critical because these protocols directly impact consumer safety and public health. Non-compliance can lead to serious legal consequences and, more importantly, put patients at risk. 

As of November 2023, the Calibo platform has positioned itself at the forefront of software providers by integrating GxP regulatory requirements. 

“Our alignment with GxP requirements is a game-changer for companies in these sectors. By ensuring our platform meets these stringent standards, we provide our clients with a robust foundation for maintaining data integrity and traceability. This is crucial for their products’ life cycle.” Scott Sandschafer, Chief Executive Officer, Calibo. 

Calibo GxP evaluation process  

The Calibo platform underwent a thorough evaluation of its technical and procedural controls to ensure alignment with the stringent standards of GxP regulations. This review was meticulously guided by the regulatory specifications outlined in: 

• 21 CFR Part 11 Subpart B, which defines the U.S. FDA’s regulations on electronic records. 
• EU Annex 11, detailing the European Union’s regulatory requirements. 

KPMG performed an in-depth gap analysis to identify areas for enhancement and subsequently presented a report outlining recommended corrective actions. The Calibo team diligently addressed and implemented these suggestions, all of which were subject to successful validation by KPMG. 

The Calibo platform fully aligns with the GxP-related controls as delineated by the regulatory standards and guidelines previously mentioned. 

Understanding GxP compliance 

GxP represents a series of quality guidelines and regulations designed to guarantee the integrity, traceability, and dependability of data in the life sciences arena. Far from being optional, GxP compliance is foundational for the ethical development, production, and distribution of pharmaceuticals, biologics, and medical devices.
