This webinar describes exactly what is required for compliance with Computer Software Assurance guidance, 21 CFR Part 11, and the European equivalent Annex 11 for local, and SaaS/Cloud hosted applications.

We’ll explain how to write a Data Privacy Statement for compliance with EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We’ll describe what the regulations mean for all four primary compliance areas: SOPs, software features, infrastructure qualification, and validation.
