Stop over-validating.
Start defending confidently.

CSA360™ is the only platform purpose-built for Computer System Assurance — helping regulated organisations decide what to validate, how much, and why, then defend every decision during an inspection.

FDA CSA Guidance (2022)GAMP 5 2nd Edition21 CFR Part 11EU Annex 11
The Problem We Solve

The hardest problem in computer system validation isn't doing it — it's deciding how much to do.

Most regulated organisations over-validate because they lack a consistent, defensible way to scope validation effort under CSA expectations. The result: wasted resources, frustrated teams, and inconsistent evidence that doesn't hold up under inspection.

Pain points your team knows too well:

  • Validation effort has no clear link to actual risk
  • CSA is interpreted differently across teams and projects
  • Evidence is scattered, stale, and hard to defend
  • Revalidation is triggered by habit, not by change risk
  • Every new tool requires external consultants to adopt
What CSA360 Does

Validate what matters, to the right depth, continuously — and defend it confidently.

CSA360™ is a Continuous Validation & Assurance Platform for pharma, biotech, and medical device organisations.

It is not a document management system. It is not a test execution tool. It is the decision layer sitting above your existing quality stack — making your validation programme smarter, leaner, and inspection-ready at all times.

Core Capabilities

The CSA360 Engine

Validation Decision Engine (VDM™)

Right-size every validation. Every time.

CSA360's proprietary Validation Decision Model uses a five-axis risk characterisation framework to calculate the exact validation approach required for any computerised system.

  • Five risk axes: Intended Use Criticality · Data Integrity Exposure · System Complexity Index · Configurability & Vendor Independence · Data Classification Index
  • Deterministic: Same inputs always produce the same outputs (regulatory gold standard).
  • Fully transparent: Complete NRE computation is visible, with per-axis contributions.
  • Replayable: Run historical decisions to demonstrate regulatory consistency.

Evidence Confidence Scoring (ECRM™)

Know if your evidence is strong enough before your inspector does.

Evidence isn't binary. CSA360 scores it across four dimensions: Source Quality × Completeness × Recency Decay × Change Resilience.

  • Output: STRONG / ADEQUATE / MARGINAL / INSUFFICIENT — always know your exposure before an audit.
  • Automated evidence reuse guardrails (ELIGIBLE / CONDITIONAL / BLOCKED).
  • Evidence gap analysis: required types vs. collected, with ECS threshold checking.

Continuous Validation Monitoring (CVM™)

Change happened. Here's exactly what needs to happen next.

Capture a change event. CSA360 evaluates the risk delta and returns a proportionate, documented response. Every response is risk-justified and auditable.

  • No action required: Documented and closed.
  • Document only: Record and justify the change.
  • Targeted revalidation: Only the affected scope, not a full re-qualification.

No more blanket revalidation triggered by instinct.

Inspection Defence Mode (IDREL™)

Walk any inspector through your validation story in 5 minutes.

CSA360 auto-generates five real-time inspection narratives from live system data — not templates. No scrambling before inspections. Your validation story is always ready.

  • Evidence Sufficiency & Proportionality Assessment
  • Continuous Validation Status & Regulatory Alignment
  • Data Integrity Controls (ALCOA+ citations)

Validation Readiness Score (VRS)

A composite 0–100 readiness score for every system in your portfolio. See your entire validation posture at a glance. No competitor offers this.
